here's my lazy PW script, written in node. :) require('uuid').v4().split('-').join('')

  Why remove the hyphens? If that’s wanted, there’s the more direct: crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex')

    They don't _really_ affect your entropy that much (since the attacker doesn't know your character set in the first place), and some websites disallow certain characters.

  A funny little flaw in this is that 13th character of those passwords is always "4", right?

    And the character that was after the 3rd hyphen is always one of [89ab].

  In Python for those who don't want to install node and run Debian / Ubuntu or any distro that includes Python out of the box: >>> import uuid >>> uuid.uuid4().hex Interesting someone else mentioned the 14th character is always a 4... I am creeped out just a little bit (cause I never noticed).

    That's because it indicates the version of uuid it is.
