    random passwords

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.002 of
    Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword (from Perl distribution
    Acme-CPANModules-RandomPassword), released on 2023-04-10.

DESCRIPTION
    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). The module will use "rand()" from
    "Data::Entropy::Algorithms" if the module is available, for stronger
    random number generation.

    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    Crypt::RandPasswd implements the old FIPS 181 (1993, withdrawn 2015)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.
