Don't generate password files online,...
... because? ... or, instead, do...?
Because if I wanted to harvest a bunch of passwords I would offer a online password generator.
Do use apache utils locally.
While you are right in general, you are just creating a file with a : line without any identifying context. So have fun searching the world for where I might have actually used it. Sounds like a really bad use of ressources to create list of passwords.
PS: Yes, as an Arch user I am still pissed that this tool is not available in the repos beside installing the complete Apache server...
Your browser also sends all kinds of fingerprintable information.
The password is also hashed....
