I hate password rules

  openssl rand -hex 8 | sed 's/..../&-/g;s/-$//'

Or if you like upper-case letters:

  openssl rand -hex 8 | sed 's/..../&-/g;s/-$//;y/abcdef/ABCDEF/

This would still parse as "random letters and numbers" to your typical support agent, no?

Maybe, but it's close to what I use. It's a limited character set and more or less looks like a credit-card which people are used to seeing.

It's either that or pick a random dictionary word.
