Description : pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords. These
            : passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper and lower case, or
            : upper case, lower case and numeric digits. Upper case letters and numeric
            : digits are placed in a way that eases memorizing the password.

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)
Have used previously in automation.
Also handy for generating passwords.

Hi @jamesp9. We'll work on including pwgen in an upcoming release. I don't have an ETA at this time, but we'll try to provide more info as it gets closer to shipping.
