genpass

This plugin provides three unique password generators for ZSH. Each generator has at least a 128-bit security margin and generates passwords from the cryptographically secure /dev/urandom. Each generator can also take an optional numeric argument to generate multiple passwords.

To use it from an interactive ZSH, add genpass to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... genpass)

You can also invoke password generators directly (they are implemented as standalone executable files), which can be handy when you need to generate passwords in a script:

~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/genpass/genpass-apple 3

genpass-apple

Generates a pronounceable pseudoword passphrase of the "cvccvc" consonant/vowel syntax, inspired by Apple's iCloud Keychain password generator. Each password has exactly 1 digit placed at the edge of a "word" and exactly 1 capital letter to satisfy most password security requirements.

Generates visually unambiguous random meaningless strings using Crockford's base32.

genpass-xkcd

Generates passphrases from /usr/share/dict/words inspired by the famous (and slightly misleading) XKCD comic. Each passphrase is prepended with a digit showing the number of words in the passphrase to adhere to password security requirements that require digits. Each word is 6 characters or less.
