Random vs Readable Passwords
Not every password is typed by a human. Choosing between fully random and readable output depends on how it will be used.
When readable helps
If someone must read or type the password — dictating it, entering it on a TV or a device without paste — dropping look-alike characters (0/O, 1/l/I) avoids errors at a small cost to entropy.
When to go fully random
For passwords stored in a manager and pasted in, maximise the character set and length. There is no reason to limit them, since no one types them by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for production work?
Yes, for inspection, formatting and quick generation. Still review the output before committing it to production code or configuration.
