XKCD-password-generator VS RandomValuesNPP

Either use a password manager or a tool like xkcdpass.

Kinda like this, but personally we using in production /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane that create even more secure phrases that can be less than 6 words.

I use https://github.com/redacted/XKCD-password-generator.

Relevant XKCDs (There's always one) 1 2. For passwords, we're switching to a passphrase in the future, ditching complexity requirements, and setting a 25-character minimum. This may break things if you have legacy applications. Password are really rated using a metric called entropy, which is calculated using [char set]^[length]. Increasing the length has a greater effect on entropy, and therefore the security of a password. XKCD style passwords can be generated using a site like this, or implemented in a local application by implementing this Github repo. Even knowing how passphrases are generated a 5-word passphrase generated from a list of ~16k words is equivalent to a 14-character password with upper, lower, numbers, and 6 symbols as a character set.

you could generate a password with xkcdpass

If this C level is going to be stubborn about good password policy suggest a 6 word passphrase to him. They are easier to remember and type with around the same security as a full random large char set password. There are free web-based apps that do this, but if you're paranoid implement something like this github project in a local win app.

My word list contains 7227 words apparently, so 12.82 bits per word

Not sure how many bits a "good" password should be nowadays.

This for example - and you can see a working example here.

I've created a Random Values plug-in for Notepad++. You can specify columns (string, int, date etc.) with masks or ranges, and it will generate data as csv, SQL, XML or JSON. See link below

Btw if you want to generate dummy test data for development; I've created a Random Data plug-in for Notepad++, which can output randomly generated data as csv, xml, SQL inserts etc.

Not 100% what you're looking for, but Notepad++ has a RandomValues plug-in, to generate lists of random values as csv, json or xml

The Random Values plug-in in Notepad++ is pretty customizable. It has masks and and option for password safe characters (do not use `1`, `0`, `i`, `o` etc)

You could use the Random Values plug-in in Notepad++ to generate random values in csv format. You can configure several columns and masks, and it will output random guid, string, int etc.
