I would avoid apg. First, its generator is poor unless you use certain command-line options; second, there is a GUI alternative built in to the user settings. Click your name on the menu bar > User Accounts (or cog > System Settings > User Accounts) > click on the dots next to Password > press the down-arrow on the picture of the cogs > select a random password amend if desired Paddy
