Abstract: A method for generating a password for accessing a password-protected service is disclosed. A password requirements database and default password generation requirements are stored in a memory of a computing device. The password requirements database includes one or more service profiles, where each service profile includes an identifier for a service and an associated indication of requirements of valid passwords for the service. If the password requirements database includes a service profile associated with the password-protected service, the password is randomly generated to comply with requirements of valid passwords indicated in the service profile associated with the password-protected service; otherwise, the password is randomly generated to comply with the default password generation requirements.
