pwgen in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own pwgen package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so pwgen should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • pwgen

Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.

Password generators and encryption tools run on the device and keep their files in your Linux home folder, inside Breadstick's own app storage. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About pwgen

From Debian's package description

pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords. These passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper and lower case mixed, or digits thrown in. Uppercase letters and digits are placed in a way that eases remembering their position when memorizing only the word.

From Debian's description of the pwgen package, under that package's license.
