UAFHELP.HLB  —  MODIFY  Qualifiers  /GENERATE_PASSWORD
       /GENERATE_PASSWORD[=keyword]
       /NOGENERATE_PASSWORD (default)

    Invokes the password generator to create user passwords.
    For accounts without the PWDMIX flag set, alphabetic passwords
    are generated at the length of the account's minimum password
    length,  Prior to OpenVMS V8.4-2L3, the maximum generated length
    was 10 characters.

    For accounts with the PWDMIX flag set, mixed-character passwords
    are generated at the length of the account's minimum password
    length on OpenVMS V8.4-2L3 and later.  Prior versions generate
    alphabetic passwords up to 10 characters.

    Specify one of the following keywords:

    BOTH       Generate primary and secondary passwords.

    CURRENT    Do whatever the DEFAULT account does (for example,
               generate primary, secondary, both, or no passwords).
               This is the default keyword.

    PRIMARY    Generate primary password only.

    SECONDARY  Generate secondary password only.

    When you modify a password, the new password expires
    automatically; it is valid only once (unless you specify
    /NOPWDEXPIRED). On login, users are forced to change their
    passwords (unless you specify /FLAGS=DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE).

    Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are
    mutually exclusive.
