Nov 14, 2019 10 Ways to Generate a Random Password from the Linux Command Line Lowell Heddings @lowellheddings Updated November 14, 2019, 2:44pm EDT One of the great things about Linux is that you can do the same thing hundreds of different ways—even something as simple as generating a random password can be accomplished with dozens of different. Symmetric Cryptography (AES) with WebCrypto and Node.js Yesterday I posted about Asymmetric Public Key Encryption and Signing (RSA). Today I'm covering Symmetric encryption, also known as Shared-Secret Cryptography because, in practice, Asymmetric Encryption isn't very useful on it's own. How to generate a secret key with Python. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
Generate cryptographically strong pseudo-random string, with given length.
Generate random digits, with given length. optional keys: 0-9
Generate random string that is easy to read by human, with given length.
optional keys: 1-9, A-Z exclude(E, G, I, J, O) for human read

This page will explain you how to generate a Security Token and how you can use it to authenticate against our API.
Security information: API tokens are like passwords, they allow total access to your account, do no share them! If you believe one of your tokens was compromised, delete it and create a new one.
API tokens are unique identifiers associated with your Scaleway account and consist of an Access Key and a Secret Key. The Secret key is required to authenticate against our API and will only be displayed when you create the token. Make sure to take a note of it and to keep it secret.
Before you can start using our API, you need to generate a Security Key and Access Key pair. Consider the Access Key as a login, and the secret key as a password. A token is the pair of those 2 values.
Each Scaleway account can have several tokens (so several pairs of access-key + secret). Several tokens are useful to give different applications access to the same Scaleway account. However, you remain in control and you can revoke access to any application individually.
Tokens that have been generated before the introduction of the Secret Key can be used without restriction. For Security reasons it is recommended to use Secret Keys whenever possible.
