Hi all,
I use a simple bash function that generates password using /dev/urandom,
and tr the exact same way pass does it.
Then I have a few aliases to easily generate password/pin...
As example:
_pw() {
local characters="${1}" length="${2:-25}"
bash -c 'read -r -n "$0" pass < <(LC_ALL=C tr -dc "$1" < /dev/urandom)
&& echo $pass' $length $characters
}
alias pw='_pw "[:graph:]"'
alias pw2='_pw "[:alnum:]"'
alias pin='_pw "[:digit:]"'

This is actually not a good things because you are generating only
base64 password.
