pwqgen generates random passphrases by combining dictionary words with separators, producing passwords that are both strong and easy to remember. The random parameter controls the number of words used, with more words providing higher entropy.The tool is part of the passwdqc (password quality checking) suite and serves as a companion to pwqcheck. Generated passphrases follow the quality rules enforced by passwdqc's password policy, making them suitable for environments with strict password requirements.
