You are leaking data before you even use it.\n\nIf you have a terminal, you have a generator.\n\n> \"Randomness is not a feature, it's a requirement.\"\n\nHere is the only command you need for API keys, salts, or passwords:\n\n```bash\nopenssl rand -base64 64\n```\n\n### Why it handles business\n\n1. **Native:** It's already installed on your machine (Mac\u002FLinux).\n2. **Strong:** Cryptographically secure pseudo-random bytes.\n3. **Private:** No network requests, no logs, no third-party tracking.\n\nNeed a specific length?
