Question CLI random password for customer/subscription user/mail accounts

Nick

New Pleskian
Is there a command line feature to generate a random password when using the customer/subscription/mail CLI utilities? Or a way to update to a random password after the creation of those things is done?
 
this?


hmm, that’s handy in its own way, and I suppose does answer the original question.

we were looking to generate a plesk admin password that matches all the Plesk requirements. Specifically the set of symbols that are allowed is rather limited. We used the utility apg but had to enter a lot of excluded symbols. but now apg is no longer available in the centos8 epel repo.
I was hoping for something like:

plesk bin passgen -policy verystrong -qty 5

where it would spit out Plesk compatible passwords that abide by the specified policy.
