Generate cryptographically secure random data using OpenSSL rand command for passwords, API keys, tokens, and other security-critical applications.

🚀 Generate cryptographically secure random data instantly with OpenSSL's rand command. Perfect for creating passwords, API keys, and session tokens that are mathematically unpredictable. Choose between base64 or hex encoding, then customize the output format to match your needs.

💡 Use this skill for strong password generation (24+ bytes), unique API keys (32 bytes), secure session tokens, and other secrets. Common recipes handle alphanumeric passwords, URL-safe tokens, and numeric PINs—all battle-tested for production systems.

✨ OpenSSL is universally available on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, requiring no additional dependencies. Generate enterprise-grade secrets in a single command without external tools or online generators.
