Is it true that password managers can generate random passwords for users?
Yes. MDN's reference documentation states that password managers generate strong passwords for users, and a peer-reviewed study notes password managers' security advantage of generating strong, random passwords. Other sources confirm random password generation exists but do not specifically attribute it to password managers.
