Purpose
This PR replaces the logic behind the default password generation when no password is provided for a new user.
So far we have been using the
randomAscii()
method ofRandomStringUtils
fromapache.commons.lang3
.However, this is not a good choice for password generation because it is only a weak pseudorandom generation. Therefore, its documentation recommends using the
RandomStringGenerator
ofapache.commons.text
