How do I generate a strong password locally?

Short answer: Use a local password generator, choose a long length, include enough character variety, avoid ambiguous characters when humans must type it, and store the result in a password manager.

Steps

1. Choose a password length that matches the account policy.
2. Enable character classes needed by the service.
3. Disable ambiguous characters if the password must be typed manually.
4. Copy the generated password directly into a password manager.
