xkpasswd-rs: XKCD password generator, written in Rust with supports for Wasm in mind
I suppose I'll mention mine. Its main — perhaps questionable — novelty is its generic support for generating passwords by rolling dice. Roll a Diceware passphrase using a d144, flip a coin for a PIN, make an alphanumeric with a d20.

pgen(1) – Passphrase Generator, version 1.1.4 released
This inspired me to update my own tool, which I never got around to publishing beyond Github. Happy to see it didn't take much.

xkpasswd-rs: XKCD password generator, written in Rust with supports for Wasm in mind
A little bit of "self-advertising" here, I wrote one password generator (https://passgen.it, source is at https://gitlab.com/xfbs/passgen) that you can use to generate the same passwords, but it is more flexible. It accepts a regex-like string. For example:
-
Passgen: A password generator that uses a regex-like syntax to create secure passwords of any shape.
If you want to try it out, the source code is available here, and the releases page has signed releases for a bunch of different architectures and platforms. Please be so kind as to file an issue if something does not work, as I don't have a way of testing all of the builds currently.

Should I learn C/C++ to appreciate rust?
I think that is a fun idea. I have a little open source C project (https://gitlab.com/xfbs/passgen) for exactly that reason. There is some interesting tooling on the C/C++ side of things (LLVM sanitizers, for example) that are cool to get exposure to. Inevitably, I’ve had to reimplement data structures (arrays and hashmaps) but that’s part of the fun!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mkpass and passgen you can also consider the following projects:
