too many to choose from. the issue with that is the most of them will have the code i need deeply embedded in code doing other stuff. at best i'll need to extract it, which is not a time savings. or what chance is there to find code that does the basic simple outputting of the desired kind of password i want at that time of running ... in a cli.
one of the things i have found i need to do is make passwords that can "lifted" off the screen by double-click highlighting and then pasting into another form somewhere. that means excluding many special characters or only using a certain limited set. and different users may be using different systems that behave differently and thus need different sets. i also prefer to avoid mixed case in certain situation, or maybe avoid a lot of things. so this could end up with a lot of options. both at the command line layer and at the function call layer. careful option design is needed.
and did i mention password length?
