Hi,

It is great idea to use pwgen but I believe it does not come installed by default and the idea was to build the script in a way that you wont need to install any additional software.

Thanks for sharing it!

If the idea is to use only things available by default, note that BASH doesn't come with every OS out there either.

POSIX sh is far more common than bash

I think that if you change the shebang to /bin/sh it would also work fine.
