How to Generate Encoded Password in Linux

Generating an encoded password in Linux involves using the 'openssl' command to create a hashed password. Here's a simple guide on how to do it:

1. Open a terminal window on your Linux system.
2. Enter the following command to generate the encoded password:
echo -n 'your_password_here' | openssl dgst -sha256
3. You will be prompted to enter a password. Once you enter it, the command will output the hashed password.
4. Copy the hashed password and use it in your Linux system as needed.

Remember to keep your passwords secure and avoid using easily guessable passwords for better security.
