LibreOffice : The New Generation
In late January, we announced LibreOffice New Generation, which focuses on bringing younger contributors into our projects and communities. We’ve had many discussions in our Telegram group since then, and today we’re announcing our first finished project: a LibreOffice flyer for schools and universities:

APG password generator
Debian comes with a useful command line utility called apg for generating passwords, based on criteria set when it is run.
You may need to install with apt install apg
Running just apg produces
ag"OnAub3 (ag-QUOTATION_MARK-On-Aub-THREE)
yissheav-Flas6 (yis-sheav-HYPHEN-Flas-SIX)
rek_OfDot6ly (rek-UNDERSCORE-Of-Dot-SIX-ly)
yorthIs0Ot; (yorth-Is-ZERO-Ot-SEMICOLON)
NapOl{aj6 (Nap-Ol-LEFT_BRACE-aj-SIX)
9Knyhik. (NINE-Kny-hik-PERIOD)
Where as using -m 16 produces a min length of 16 characters
apg -m 16

As a good password should be made up of Letters (upper and lower case) Numbers (0-9) Other characters ( !“£$()%^&* )
Then you need to run something like
apg -M sncl -m 16 -n 5
apg -M sncl -m 16 -n 5

The program man page also gives more info and an example shell script to help with the process.
man apg
shell script
[begin]----> pwgen.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/apg -m 8 -x 12 -s
[ end ]----> pwgen.sh
