Have you looked in the Software Manager? That's always the first place to look for software on Mint.
Just do a search for 'password' and see what comes up.

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Code: Select all

apg - generates several random passwords

Code: Select all

$ apg
Please enter some random data (only first 16 are significant)
(eg. your old password):>
Enter some characters, which you won't see, then hit return.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?

If you would have found one, the passwords would not be free, but obviously you would have not the least control, what the site owner makes with them. So be happy, that you did not find them.

I follow the advice to use keepassx. A really strong password is set out of meaningless signs and is very long, so near to impossible to remember them all. Also to mention, that no password should get used on more than exactly 1 place. So you need a password manager in any case.
