I need a random password generator that will generate only passwords that are >words< with numbers (alpha-numeric). I realize that many folks feel a pw should have a jumble of numbers, but I just don't want to confuse our users. I have found many pw-generator apps but they have been just a collection of letters, not words, and numbers. Any suggestions? - Glenn Philadelphia PA

You don't specify what platform you want to run this on, but... use expect, see http://expect.nist.gov. You'll find there example/mkpasswd which does just what you want.
