This is the new (reimplemented) pwgen from Theodore Ts'o.

seb@devel ~/OpenBSD/ports/pwgen % cat pkg/DESCR 
pwgen  generates passwords which are designed to be easily
memorized by humans, while being as secure as possible.

The pwgen program is designed to  be  used  both  interac­
tively,   and   in  shell  scripts.   Hence,  its  default
behaviour is differs depending  on  whether  the  standard
output is a tty device or a pipe to another program.  Used
interactively, pwgen will display  a  screenful  of  pass­
words,  allowing  the  user to pick a single password, and
then quickly erase the screen.  This prevents someone from
being  able to "shoulder-surf" the user's chosen password.

Please revise.
