Name : perl-Crypt-GeneratePassword Product : Fedora 9 Version : 0.03 Release : 12.fc9 URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Crypt-GeneratePassword/ Summary : Generate secure random pronounceable passwords Description : Crypt::GeneratePassword generates random passwords that are (more or less) pronounceable. Unlike Crypt::RandPasswd, it doesn't use the FIPS-181 NIST standard, which is proven to be insecure. It does use a similar interface, so it should be a drop-in replacement in most cases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New Package: Crypt::GeneratePassword generates random passwords that are (more or less) pronounceable.
