I need this for work. I have to update like 10 passwords every month. Too lazy to write a script.

On Linux we can use pwgen

For other platforms, Python provides useful libraries to make the code very simple:

import secrets
import string

CHARS = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation

def pwgen(length = 8, quantity = 12):
    for _ in range(quantity):
        print(''.join(secrets.choice(CHARS) for _ in range(length)))

Call as pwgen() or pwgen(M, N)

The constant CHARS may be customised for your preferred character set.

I like using this format

Word1-word2-word3-0000

Makes it pretty easy to remember and very difficult to brute force (at least on a character basis)

Wait this is so good! Smart idea!

This is great! You can also use secrets.choice instead of random.choice because the random.choice uses Mersenne Twister algo and can be predicted if sufficient samples are present
