The criteria for generating the password are: min & max length, required number of lowercase & uppercase letters, required number of digits and required number of special characters. All length requirements have to be below 1000 characters. It utilizes **System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider** for generating the random passwords with a 4 Byte seed. 

Use cases:

*   Robots utilize service accounts to access a certain application, but due to security policies the passwords have to be updated after a specific time. A new password will have to be generated with the criteria specific for the respective application. The password will then have to be updated on the Orchestrator for the respective Robot machine. This allows the Robot to maintain its password without involving the human factor.
