<pm: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:
<pm:App::genpw::base64>, <pm:App::genpw::base58>, <pm:App::genpw::base56>,
<pm:App::genpw::wordlist> (use words from wordlists), <pm: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.

<pm: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.

<pm:Crypt::RandPasswd> implements the old FIPS 181 (1993, withdrawn 2015)
standard to generate pronounceable password, which is no longer recommended.

real words. It does not use a secure random number generator by default.

Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword - List of modules for generating random passwords

=head1 VERSION

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<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:
L<App::genpw::base64>, L<App::genpw::base58>, L<App::genpw::base56>,
L<App::genpw::wordlist> (use words from wordlists), L<App::genpw::ind> (use
Indonesian words). The module will use C<rand()> from C<Data::Entropy::Algorithms>
if the module is available, for stronger random number generation.

L<Crypt::GeneratePassword> creates secure random pronounceable passwords. It
provides function C<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 C<chars()> which produces a sequence of random
letters, digits, and some symbols. It still uses C<rand()> by default which is
not cryptographically secure.

L<Crypt::RandPasswd> implements the old FIPS 181 (1993, withdrawn 2015)
standard to generate pronounceable password, which is no longer recommended.

L<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.

L<Data::SimplePassword>

L<String::MkPasswd>

L<Data::Random::String> and L<Data::Random>.

L<Text::Password::Pronounceable::RandomCase>

L<String::Random>

L<String::Urandom>

L<Crypt::XkcdPassword>, a password generator module inspired by
L<http://xkcd.com/936/>.

L<CtrlO::Crypt::XkcdPassword>, another password generator module inspired by
L<http://xkcd.com/936/>.

L<App::GenPass>

L<Crypt::PW44>

L<Crypt::YAPassGen>

L<Session::Token>

L<Text::Password::Pronounceable>
