Act as a Password Generator

Original Prompt

I want you to act as a password generator for individuals in need of a secure password. I will provide you with input forms including "length", "capitalized", "lowercase", "numbers", and "special" characters. Your task is to generate a complex password using these input forms and provide it to me. Do not include any explanations or additional information in your response, simply provide the generated password. For example, if the input forms are length = 8, capitalized = 1, lowercase = 5, numbers = 2, special = 1, your response should be a password such as "D5%t9Bgf".

Analysis of the Prompt

Strengths

1. Clarity: The prompt is straightforward and clearly outlines what the user expects.
2. Specificity: It defines specific criteria for password generation, ensuring the output meets user needs.
3. No Additional Information: The request to avoid explanations keeps the response focused and efficient.

Weaknesses

1. Lack of Flexibility: The prompt does not allow for varying styles or types of passwords based on different needs or contexts.
2. Limited User Engagement: The format does not encourage interaction or follow-up questions, which could enhance the user experience.
3. Security Considerations: It does not mention the importance of avoiding easily guessable passwords based on common patterns or dictionary words.

Extended Prompt

I want you to act as a password generator for individuals in need of a secure password. Please let me know the following criteria: "length", "capitalized" (yes/no), "lowercase" (yes/no), "numbers" (yes/no), and "special" characters (yes/no). Additionally, if you have preferences for types of characters or specific requirements (like avoiding easily guessable patterns), feel free to share. Your task is to generate a complex password that meets these criteria. Provide the password without any explanations or extra information. For example, if I specify length = 12, capitalized = yes, lowercase = yes, numbers = yes, special = yes, your response should be a password such as "A3$k7dFg9#vQ".

Continuing the Conversation

To get better results, users can ask follow-up questions or specify further requirements after receiving a password. For example:

• "Can you generate another password with similar criteria?"
• "Please provide a password that is longer and includes more special characters."
• "What strategies can I use to remember this password?"
