I don't know exactly what you mean, but this is a random string. Obviously if you re-generate it it will be a different one every time.
There is also no mandatory length. You could also just generate a 16 char long string and use that one, for example via: openssl rand -hex 16 Or a 8 char long string: openssl rand -hex 8 Doesn't make it more secure if you reduce length! And it's a shared secret (like a cryptographic salt) - so don't post it online! :) Thanks, Seb Sebastian Wagner Director Arrakeen Solutions http://arrakeen-solutions.co.nz/ <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/da4e8828-743d-4968-af6f-49033f10d60a/public_url> <https://www.youracclaim.com/badges/b7e709c6-aa87-4b02-9faf-099038475e36/public_url> On Mon, 28 Sep 2020 at 00:10, Ali Alhaidary <ali.alhaid...@the5stars.org> wrote: > when I do: > > sudo openssl rand -hex 32 > > I should get a password like: > > 751c45cae60a2839711a94c8d6bf0089e78b2149ca602fdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > > But instead, I get something like: > > d26a4d6a72013192c7da2d86133db657ee1ace66e64e4fdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > > Does this matter? > >
