[OS X] random password generator

[Andy Jacobson]

Howdy,

Simple tip:  you can use the OpenSSL software installed on your system  
to generate random, strong passwords.  To get an 8-character password,  
type:

openssl rand -base64 6

The actual number of characters you get is (4/3) times that last  
digit.  I.e., 6 gets you 8.

I got this from the MacBreak Weekly podcast.

Cheers,

Andy
