@user25770 Related to your I'd like to get an example of a short Python implementation to get started please. – Just to be sure you are aware of it: code-requests are generally off-topic at this site (as Otus noted). We´ll gladly help you when it comes to specific, cryptographic problems or when you´ve got a hard time understanding the internals for some cryptographic algorithm or protocol; but you can definitely not expect us to do the job that you get paid for.

@user25770, this isn't really the place for coding help, but in Python simply truncating the hex digest should do: .hexdigest()[:32].

| Jul 24, 2015 at 7:46 | comment | added | otus | @user25770, if you already use ssh, you should just switch to key based authentication. If you can't (e.g. due to the Windows program that I'm not familiar with), your idea of deriving passwords from a random seed seems sound... assuming you store the seed securely elsewhere. | |
| Jul 24, 2015 at 7:34 | comment | added | user25770 | I'm writing a Python program that (every 7 days) change local administrator password automatically. My program use Ansible to connect to these machines via SSH for GNU/Linux and Winrm for MS Windows. It needs to know the machine password in order to make a connection on it. | |
