Package: makepasswd
Description: Generate and encrypt passwords
 Generates true random passwords by using the /dev/random feature of  Linux,
with the emphasis on security over pronounceability.  It can  also encrypt
plaintext passwords given on the command line.

You can also try :
mkpasswd (1)         - Overfeatured front end to crypt(3)

mkpasswd is contained in the whois package.
