Passwords have a lot of different contexts. You don't mention how this is going to be used.
If it's for crypt(3) (like a basicauth password), characters past the 8th don't make any difference, for example. If it's for a human, it'd be nice to be somewhat pronouncable. If it's merely to confirm that an email address is the right one via a round-trip, it can be 64 hex characters instead. So, tell us more about how this is to be used, and you'll get better answers. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker
