Why Randomize Passwords?
It is a common practice that large enterprises define a single, static password for use across thousands of computers. Given the ease by which even extremely complex passwords can be compromised, the disclosure of passwords can jeopardize the security of an entire enterprise. Randomizing and cycling passwords is an easy and secure way that large public and private enterprises can ensure that security breaches do not occur.
The Random Password Policy enables administrators to generate random passwords automatically, in a schedule, for a defined collection. In a worst case scenario, if a password somehow becomes compromised, the compromised password allows access only until the randomization period expires, and more importantly, access only applies to one computer.
