I usually use pwgen (old ref article):
sudo apt install pwgen
sudo dnf install pwgen
sudo pacman -S pwgen
Edit: Found project page: Password generator CLI

nice. I made an alias, alias p='openssh rand -base64 8' when I type p, I get a random 8 char pw, quick n dirty. There are plenty of one-liners. It’s good to share with the group.
