Random-Password

A simple, secure random password generator for Mac designed to be secure and easy to use. This generator picks words from /usr/share/dict/words using data from /dev/random, a word dictionary that is comes preinstalled with macOS.

Install

To start, install and run by typing the following command: cd && curl -L https://bit.ly/2skLK70 -o ~/install.sh && openssl dgst -SHA256 ~/install.sh

If the output matches 9514867378a33612e93dd10a1c0e2c58cf50fb5f71054c43f198153425c22bfc, then the SHA256 digest matches the most recent digest. If it does not match, type in the command again. Checking the SHA256 digest ensures that the install file hasn't been tampered with and is not corrupted. This ensures security.

Next, type in sh ~/install.sh to run the installer.

The only requsite for this script is that you are using a relatively recent version of macOS (or OS X).

Usage

To use Random-Password, type one of the following options into Terminal:

• rp to generate a random word followed by however many random characters that you want
• rpsafe to generate a random, school appropriate, and commonly used words followed by however many characters that you want
• rpc to generate a random string of characters
• rpn to generate a random string of numbers
• rpd to delete your randompassword.txt file

1. Answer the prompts by typing the amount of passwords needed and the amount of random characters you want after each word.
2. Then, move your mouse around and do other actions on your computer to ensure that enough entropy is generated to prevent /dev/random from blocking.
3. Your output will automatically open

Before running the command again, be sure to quite TextEdit

You can view the progress of the generator by looking at the progress meter.

Update

To update, simply run through the installation process again. If you already have Random-Password installed on your mac, install.sh will first uninstall, then run through the installation progress again.
