Overview
What is PWGEN?
PWGEN : Password generator for network devices
In depth
A closer look at PWGEN
The PWGEN application was designed to be a small command line tool that can be used to generate poasswords for network devices. It seeds its pool from the arguments specified on the command line. For each device, you specify an IP address, its location, the name of the device or account, and a master password. Any invocation with the same options specified will generate the same password. It is useful in situations where you may have many, many passwords to remember for different equipment and would rather use a central naming scheme and master password than maintain an enterprise wide password list somewhere.
