Mkpasswd(1) - Linux man page Name mkpasswd - generate new password, optionally apply it to a user Synopsis mkpasswd args user Introduction mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users. Mkpasswd is based on the code from Chapter 23 of the O'Reilly book 'Exploring Expect'. Currently the Ubuntu/Debian mkpasswd command does not support yescrypt. In order to use it anyway, we can use the ulikoehler/mkpasswd docker image to run the proper version of mkpasswd: docker run -rm -it ulikoehler/mkpasswd. This will prompt you for a password and then echo the yescrypt encrypted and salted password.
