Very cool! I wonder if you could somehow extend this to store the passwords securely in Bash and retrieve them with a passcode, sort of like Chrome does. That might be involved, though. You'd probably need to encrypt and decrypt them to store them safely.

Glad you liked it! Encrypting them sounds like a good idea indeed. GPG sounds like the right tool for that, according to a tutorial on techrepublic it can be used to encrypt and decrypt files. Theoretically, executing something like ./create-users.sh 10 > usernames.txt && gpg -c usernames.txt would achieve that. Having that in the script itself would be a lot more convenient, of course!
