2. Random password generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

   A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password. Random passwords can be generated manually, using simple sources of randomness such as dice or coins , or they can be generated using a computer.

3. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

   When the maximum number of bits output from this PRNG is equal to the 2 blocksize, the resulting output delivers the mathematically expected security level that the key size would be expected to generate, but the output is shown to not be indistinguishable from a true random number generator. [24] When the maximum number of bits output from ...

4. Diceware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware

   Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is ...

   Here are some helpful tips on creating a secure password so you can make sure your information remains safe. Create a strong password • Use unique words - Don't use obvious words like "password". • Have 12 or more characters - Longer passwords are more secure. • Don't be obvious - Don't use personal information like your name, AOL ID ...

7. HMAC-based one-time password - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password

   A secret key K, which is an arbitrary byte string and must remain private; A counter C, which counts the number of iterations; A HOTP value length d (6–10, default is 6, and 6–8 is recommended) Both parties compute the HOTP value derived from the secret key K and the counter C. Then the authenticator checks its locally generated value ...
