The Snap Store will undergo scheduled database maintenance on July 5, 2026 22:00 to July 6, 02:00 UTC. During this time, you will not be able to install or update snaps. No user action is required and services will automatically resume once maintenance is complete.
mkpass creates a secure password on the command line. By default, it creates a 30 character password with special symbols.
There are several options. You can control the password length, the number of generated passwords, decide to include special characters or not, or even include just the special symbols you’d like.
Special Note
You may need to install "rng-tools" if the app seems to hang. This is because /dev/random is blocking awaiting entropy data. See the homepage for additional information:
