Generate Ethereum account in a JSON/UTC v3

Question

What are some trustful ways to generate an Ethereum account in a JSON/UTC v3 format? I know some web wallets, but I would prefer a very used/well-known desktop or plugin wallet. Metamask does not allow me to generate this format. It only allows me to export the private key in plain text.

Answer 1

you can try Vanity ETH, it can even create a custom prefix for your address https://github.com/MyEtherWallet/VanityEth

Answer 2

I developed a small script for that.

const ethers  = require('ethers');
require("dotenv").config();
const fs = require('fs');

let wallet = ethers.Wallet.createRandom();
const password = process.env.PASSWORD_WALLET;
const promisseJSON = wallet.encrypt( password);
promisseJSON.then((jsonWallet) => {
    fs.writeFileSync("teste.json", jsonWallet);
});
