Using [cargo]:
cargo install mkpasswd
You then have access to the mkpasswd command.
If you simply want a securely generated random password, simply run
mkpasswd to get a password with special characters and a length of 32 letters.
However, the tool offer more options.
The password length can be set by passing a command line argument like mkpasswd 10,
which will generate a 10-character password.
If you want to generate multiple passwords, pass --count or -n like mkpasswd -n 5.
You can always pass --help or -h to mkpasswd to retrieve this help.
An alphabet defines the character the password can contain.
The standard alphabet is --password.
There a few predefined alphabets, which can passed directly:
--password a-z, A-Z, 0-9, each of =+-*/,;:.!?&|^<>(){}_%@#
--latin-numbers a-z, A-Z, 0-9
--base64 a-z, A-Z, 0-9, +, /
--base64-url a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, _
--numbers 0-9
--latin a-z, A-Z
--latin-lower a-z
--latin-lower-numbers a-z, 0-9
--latin-upper A-Z
--latin-upper-numbers A-Z, 0-9
Another option is passing a string containg all the characters you want after --alphabet or -a:
mkpass -a "qwertyQWERTY"
