Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

Review generated values locally and keep them in the intended secret-management workflow. Do not expose them in logs, command history, or shared chats. The sample short-PIN command may be weak for authentication or account recovery. Requires OpenSSL; replace the example PIN with a fixed-width unbiased generator where applicable.

Profile published 2026-10-29

What you can do with it

  • Generate a random password or API key
  • Choose a token format for a specific use
  • Plan local storage in a secret manager

When to use it

  • When a password or token must be generated locally
  • When the result can be kept out of logs, history, and shared chats
  • When authentication or recovery uses adequate strength plus rate limits and expiration

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Explain how to generate and store a random API key locally, warning not to put the result in logs or chat. Do not run a command or generate a secret.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# OpenSSL Secure Generation

Generate cryptographically secure random data using `openssl rand`.

## Password/Secret Generation
Show all (38 lines)

```bash
# 32 random bytes as base64 (43 chars, URL-safe with tr)
openssl rand -base64 32 | tr '+/' '-_' | tr -d '='

# 24 random bytes as hex (48 chars)
openssl rand -hex 24

# alphanumeric password (32 chars)
openssl rand -base64 48 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 32
```

## Common Lengths

| Use Case | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Password (strong) | `openssl rand -base64 24` |
| API key | `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| Session token | `openssl rand -base64 48` |
| Short PIN (8 digits) | `openssl rand -hex 4 | xxd -r -p | od -An -tu4 | tr -d ' ' | head -c 8` |

## Notes

- `-base64` outputs ~1.33x the byte count in characters
- `-hex` outputs 2x the byte count in characters
- Pipe through `tr -dc` to filter character sets
- Always use at least 16 bytes (128 bits) for secrets
