Random password generator

A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password.

Mnemonic hashes, which reversibly convert random strings into more memorable passwords, can substantially improve the ease of memorization. As the hash can be processed by a computer to recover the original 60-bit string, it has at least as much information content as the original string.
