Need a strong, but easy to remember password? No need to remember, generate it! Up to 48 chars, works on any unix-like system:
read -s pass; echo $pass | md5sum | base64 | cut -c -16

========================================
MD5SUM creates a 128 bit hash.
Base64 turns a binary number into ASCII
cut – simply removes sections for each line.
Output looks like:
n@H:~$ read -s pass; echo $pass | md5sum | base64 | cut -c -16
(I entered: abcdefg)
