1. First, generate a strong password.

We do not recommend online password generators. While improbable, a hacked website could save the generated passwords (or intercept them via your browser). Use an offline generator whenever possible.
To generate a password offline:
Type this at the CAS server console command line:
| Code Block |
|---|
openssl rand -base64 32 |
OpenSSL is typically available on any Debian/Ubuntu system.
...
Copy + paste the resulting 32-byte Base64 random code.
Another option is APG, which is already installed on most Ubuntu distributions (but not droplets).
| Code Block |
|---|
apg -m32 |
Generates 5x 32-byte passwords (pick one).
2. Convert this new, secure password to a QR code.
