## TL;DR

```sh
# Print out 32 random characters.
openssl rand -base64 32
gpg --gen-random --armor 1 32

# Print out 32 random alphanumerical characters.
date '+%s' | sha256sum | base64 | head -c '32'
cat '/dev/urandom' | LC_ALL='C' tr -dc '[:alnum:]' | fold -w '32' | head -n '1'

# XKCD-inspired passwords.
pipx run 'xkcdpass'
```
