gen_password.sh
# one-liner for generating a 14-char password
# On Windows this is a secure password, based on CryptGenRandom
# On *nix this is based on /dev/urandom which is intended to be a cryptographically-secure PRNG but
# usually isn't. It should still be good enough for passwords.
python -c "import random, string; r = random.SystemRandom(); print ''.join(r.choice(string.letters + string.digits) for i in xrange(14))"
