IIRC, there are a password generator, that makes pronounceable passwords
randomly, and a password validator, based on obvious things (like ASDFGH
and QWERTY, etc.), in the Linux codebase. I once considered porting these
to RPG - haven't yet - written in C or C++.

The generator could be made an option on a user menu, or even as the
CHGUSRPRF exit program (maybe).
