genpass
This plugin provides three unique password generators for ZSH. Each generator
has at least a 128-bit security margin and generates passwords from the
cryptographically secure /dev/urandom. Each generator can also take an
optional numeric argument to generate multiple passwords.
Requirements:
grep(1)- GNU coreutils (or appropriate for your system)
- Word list providing
/usr/share/dict/words
To use it, add genpass to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
plugins=(... genpass)
genpass-apple
Generates a pronounceable pseudoword passphrase of the "cvccvc" consonant/vowel syntax, inspired by Apple's iCloud Keychain password generator. Each pseudoword has exactly 1 digit placed at the edge of a "word" and exactly 1 capital letter to satisfy most password security requirements.

genpass-xkcd
Generates passphrases from /usr/share/dict/words inspired by the famous (and
slightly misleading) XKCD comic. Each passphrase is prepended with a digit
showing the number of words in the passphrase to adhere to password security
requirements that require digits. Each word is 6 characters or less.
