In keeping with the Unix philosophy, I'd prefer a `pass new` subcommand that just generates a new password to stdout: new [ --no-symbols, -n ] [pass-length] That provides maximum flexibility, and can also be used outside pass. For the OP's use case: $ pass insert path/to/my/pass/db <<EOF acct1 $(pass new 16) acct2 $(pass new 22) EOF Best Regards, Adrian
