mkpasswd - generate new password, optionally apply it to a userSynopsis
mkpasswdHi there, There's something I don't understand. The same string does not give the same md5 hash everytime. I wanted to find a way to check someone's password but the following script obviously shows t The UNIX and Linux Forums. Passwords that are easy to remember and used multiple times are for suckers. Writing them down to type back in, or copy-pasting them each time is not only a hassle, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Here are the best password manager apps for Mac so that you can keep 'em secret and keep 'em safe.
[ args ] [
user ]Introduction
mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users. mkpasswd isbased on the code from Chapter 23 of the O'Reilly book 'Exploring Expect'.Mkpasswd For Macbook Pro

With no arguments, mkpasswd returns a new password.mkpasswd
With a user name, mkpasswd assigns a new password to the user.
mkpasswd don
The passwords are randomly generated according to the flags below.
Flags
The -l flag defines the length of the password. The default is 9. The following examplecreates a 20 character password.mkpasswd -l 20
The -d flag defines the minimum number of digits that must be in the password. The default is 2. The following example creates a password with atleast 3 digits.
mkpasswd -d 3
The -c flag defines the minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -C flag defines the minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -s flag defines the minimum number of special characters that must be in the password. The default is 1.
The -p flag names a program to set the password. By default, /etc/yppasswd is used if present, otherwise /bin/passwd is used.
The -2 flag causes characters to be chosen so that they alternate between right and left hands (qwerty-style), making it harder for anyone watchingpasswords being entered. This can also make it easier for a password-guessing program.
The -v flag causes the password-setting interaction to be visible. By default, it is suppressed.
Example
The following example creates a 15-character password that contains at least 3 digits and 5uppercase characters. mkpasswd -l 15 -d 3 -C 5
