Terminal Self Test

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:

1. Type this at the CAS server console command line:

• OpenSSL is typically available on any Debian/Ubuntu system.

Open

• Copy + paste the resulting 32-byte Base64 random code.

2. Convert this new, secure password to a QR code.

• Example free website: http://www.qr-code-generator.com

• Choose text.

• Download the QR as a JPG or PNG file and SAVE IT!
