Better to use the `pwgen` command for that. There's no guarantee the passwords from that site are really random / not being stored.



True, but that site doesn't just give you one option, but dozens, from which I can randomly choose one. I normally change one or two characters from the ones listed anyhow, just in the unlikely event they are somehow using a fixed list which they are randomly choosing from.


I tend to use `gpw` because while it has less entropy per character I can easily memorize a much longer password if its pronounceable.
