NAME
Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword - Generating random passwords
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of
Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-RandomPassword), released on 2021-05-26.
DESCRIPTION
Generating
App::genpw can generate passwords with patterns and wordlists. It loads
secure random number generator if available. By default it generates
12-20 character-long passwords comprising of ASCII letters and digits.
There are several variants which are basically wrappers for convenience:
App::genpw::base64, App::genpw::base58, App::genpw::base56,
App::genpw::wordlist (use words from wordlists), App::genpw::ind (use
Indonesian words).
Crypt::GeneratePassword creates secure random pronounceable passwords.
It provides function "word()" which generates a sequence of letters with
vocals in between consonants so the word is still pronounceable, even
though it's a nonsense word. It also provides "chars()" which produces a
sequence of random letters, digits, and some symbols. It still uses
"rand()" by default which is not cryptographically secure.
Crypt::RandPasswd implements the old FIPS 181 (1993, withdrawn 2015)
standard to generate pronounceable password, which is no longer
recommended.
Crypt::PassGen, yet another module to create random words that look like
real words. It does not use a secure random number generator by default.

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n RandomPassword
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries RandomPassword | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=RandomPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::RandomPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
