RANDOM PASSWORD GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028700 titled 'RANDOM PASSWORD GENERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a random password generation device that includes a processor and a memory device. The memory device contains instructions that allow the device to determine a random password parameter, which defines a generated random password. The device can generate a random password based on the random password parameter when a generation trigger is activated, granting the user access to an application. Additionally, the device can reset the random password to a user-defined password when a predetermined user command is entered.

  • The device includes a processor and a memory device.
  • The memory device contains instructions executable by the processor.
  • The instructions allow the device to determine a random password parameter.
  • The random password parameter defines a generated random password.
  • The device can generate a random password based on the random password parameter.
  • The random password grants the user access to an application.
  • The device can reset the random password to a user-defined password.
  • The reset is triggered by the entry of a predetermined user command.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Password management systems
  • Security systems
  • User authentication systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Generating secure and random passwords
  • Granting user access to applications
  • Allowing users to reset their passwords

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved security by generating random passwords
  • Simplified password management for users
  • Enhanced user authentication and access control


Original Abstract Submitted

in an example in accordance with the present disclosure, a random password generation device is described. the device includes a processor and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor. the memory device includes instructions executable by the processor. the instructions include instructions to determine a random password parameter, wherein the random password parameter defines a generated random password. the instructions also include instructions to, responsive to a generation trigger, generate a random password based on the random password parameter, wherein the random password is to grant a user access to an application. the instructions also include instructions to, responsive to entry of a predetermined user command, reset the random password to a user-defined password.
