NAME
Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword - List of modules for generating random passwords
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-RandomPassword), released on 2023-04-10.
DESCRIPTION
App::genpw can generate passwords with patterns and wordlists. It loads secure random number generator if available. By default it generates 12-20 character-long passwords comprising of ASCII letters and digits. There are several variants which are basically wrappers for convenience: App::genpw::base64, App::genpw::base58, App::genpw::base56, App::genpw::wordlist (use words from wordlists), App::genpw::ind (use Indonesian words). The module will use rand() from Data::Entropy::Algorithms if the module is available, for stronger random number generation.
Crypt::GeneratePassword creates secure random pronounceable passwords. It provides function word() which generates a sequence of letters with vocals in between consonants so the word is still pronounceable, even though it's a nonsense word. It also provides chars() which produces a sequence of random letters, digits, and some symbols. It still uses rand() by default which is not cryptographically secure.
Crypt::RandPasswd implements the old FIPS 181 (1993, withdrawn 2015) standard to generate pronounceable password, which is no longer recommended.
Crypt::PassGen, yet another module to create random words that look like real words. It does not use a secure random number generator by default.
Data::Random::String and Data::Random.
Text::Password::Pronounceable::RandomCase
Crypt::XkcdPassword, a password generator module inspired by http://xkcd.com/936/.
CtrlO::Crypt::XkcdPassword, another password generator module inspired by http://xkcd.com/936/.
For other types of random data, see other lists mentioned in the See Also section.

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n RandomPasswordAlternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries RandomPassword | cpanm -nor Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=RandomPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -nor directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::RandomPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::RandomPassword::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -nThis Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -lIf you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
