For generating passwords from /dev/random, this will select from all possible printable characters.


head -c 50 /dev/random | tr -cd "A-Za-z0-9@#\!\$%^&*()_+=-~;,.<>/[]{}|?:'\\\`" && echo

My favorite password/passphrase generation method is Diceware. Use dice and a word list to generate easy-to-remember passwords.
