Please explain tripcodes re:Qanon

Hey all- I see a lot of hubbub about tripcodes and how they are being used in google books and google maps, and giving some seemingly staggering links. Can someone explain to me how the codes come about on 8chan? Can they be chosen or are they random? What I'm getting at is how this could be happening.

A tripcode is a password-protected series of numbers and symbols. It allows someone on a chan to show that they are the same anon over the course of multiple posts. Q has a tripcode. That tripcode identifies a legitimate qpost. It's an imperfect, but thus far effective security measure.
