in Fedora 28 I used the command `mkpasswd` [1] to generate passwords

Any ideas how do I get back the old `mkpasswd`?

Maybe mkpasswd now comes from something else. IIRC mkpasswd came from the expect package.

But, yeah, if that doesn't sort it, use another tool. Ben suggested pwgen, and I've got a script of my own called "mkpw" which generates a 16 character random hex string.
