xkcdpass: Generate passwords interactively.
$ xkcdpass -i
try on your machine

The command "xkcdpass -i" is referring to a specific tool called "xkcdpass" and it includes the option "-i".

"xkcdpass" is a command-line tool used to generate random, highly secure passphrases following the style often seen in xkcd comic strips. These passphrases are typically easier to remember and harder for a computer to guess than traditional passwords.

The option "-i" stands for "interactive." When this option is included, it means that the tool will prompt the user for inputs during the passphrase generation process. These inputs might include choosing the number of words to include in the passphrase, specifying any separators or capitalization rules, or other preferences. By making it interactive, the tool allows the user to customize the generated passphrase based on their requirements or preferences.
