FAQ
Why are temporary passwords shorter?
Temporary passwords balance security with usability. Since they expire quickly and should be changed on first use, extreme length is less important. 8 characters with all types provides adequate short-term security.
How should I share a temporary password?
Use a secure channel whenever possible. If using email, send the username and password in separate messages. Set the password to expire quickly and require an immediate change.
Should temporary passwords be random?
Absolutely. Predictable temporary passwords (like 'Welcome1!' or 'TempPass123') are commonly targeted by attackers. Always use cryptographically random temporary passwords.
