Just to give people a flavor, here is a script I wrote in Python to generate various random passwords: http://www.bpaste.net/show/24775/ http://www.bpaste.net/show/24775/ What it looks like in practice: drostie@signy:~$ words -c 5 4 (Line entropy: 64.7055497954 bits.) rebelliousness subpoenas garrulous coach mono peroxide underused fathers entreat entwined meatier umbilicuses relay torrential husband Jenkins Kristine sluggers feverishly Lessie So each of those lines has a little over 64 bits of entropy. You might also consider the following one-liner in the shell: drostie@signy:~$ head -c 9 /dev/urandom | base64 ST2QpSb0eKHk If you're not paranoid, consider typing "password" into DuckDuckGo and it will give you a random password. If you're slightly more paranoid, consider using mouse-movements to generate your own random password with a random tool I coded for making random API keys: http://code.drostie.org/api.html http://code.drostie.org/api.html . Just truncate to the first 10-12 characters or so.
