I mean if it’s generated by some piece of code that would imply it follows some methodology or algorithm to come up with something. How could that be random? Random is that which is unpredictable.
In: Mathematics
random is a selection process. if you randomly select a number out of a jar that has 1-100 numbers in it…….the number was selected randomly. The numbers put in the jar were not random.
passwords are generally governed by a set of rules. length, special characters, etc. so they themselves cannot be “generated” randomly. but you can still randomly select one.
Let’s say there are only 6 possible password combos. There’s only 6. They can’t be THAT random. but i can roll a dice to assign the password. It’s less randomness than if the possible combos of passwords is 1 trillion, but still random
