[Semibug] Generate random passwords?

[Matt Parnell]

I'll second the recommendation for KeePassXC. It does have a nice password generator - but more importantly, it's a really nice way to organize hundreds of passwords. 

Plus, it's all stored in a single encrypted file (locked by a master password). Not stored on the cloud. I keep a relatively fresh copy on the USB stick on my keyring at all times for when I'm on the road. 

The file is compatible with KeePass (the original Windows app) so my wife and I can both access the master file stored on our NAS from various machines.

For random strings I use 

$ openssl rand -base64 <bytes> 

But for passwords I use a password manager. KeePassDroid on my phone and keepasxc on OpenBSD.

What is a good way to generate random passwords on OpenBSD? Are 
website based random password generators safe to use or do they keep a 
record of the generated passwords? I tried using /dev/urandom but 
couldn't get any output.
