Software for strong, random password creation?

Question

What is a safe place/way for me to come up with a strong master password? I read another Super User post that mentioned GRC, but I'm not sure if that's safe/legitimate. What's the best place for me to go to create a random, long, good password? I really doubt just typing at random is a good choice, since there are biases for where fingers go.

Answer 1

I've used KeePass for a long time. It is a password managing software, and it has a password generator built it. Simple, reliable, works.

Answer 2

GRC is definitely legitimate. I don't think you could be any more legitimate. As far as passwords for wireless networks go (and other passwords in general where I can just pick the amount of characters I need from a very long string), I find GRC to be the most useful place to generate these pseudo-random passwords. Otherwise, a good head -c 8 /dev/urandom on a linux box doesn't hurt either.

Answer 3

The password managing browser add-on LastPass has a great password generator.

Answer 4

I've been using Roboform for a long time now, and one of the things it does is create random passwords. It has a free and paid version, and I'm not sure off the top of my head if that feature is present on both.
