System Application · System.Security.AccessControl · BC23-30 · [source at ea08af5e](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/ea08af5ef2d6a9b5c5af4a029288abbe2c883220/src/System%20Application/App/Password/src/PasswordHandler.Codeunit.al) · facts from BC29

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Access | Public |

## Procedures

- `GenerateSecretPassword(): SecretText`: Generates a password that consists of a number of characters defined by the method, and meets the conditions.
- `GenerateSecretPassword(Length: Integer): SecretText`: Generates a password that consists of a user-defined number of characters, and meets the conditions.
- `IsPasswordStrong(Password: SecretText): Boolean`: Check whether the password meets the following conditions: - Contains at least the number characters defined by event, but it cannot be less than eight. - Contains uppercase and lowercase characters, digits, and special characters. - Does not contain sequences of characters. For example, aaa or 123.
- `GetPasswordMinLength(): Integer`: Gets the minimum length of the password. It is defined by event, but it cannot be less than eight.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 1282 "Password Handler Impl."](../codeunit/1282.md) (3 calls: `GenerateSecretPassword → GenerateSecretPassword`, `GetPasswordMinLength → GetPasswordMinLength`, `IsPasswordStrong → IsPasswordStrong`)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 9811 "Password Dialog Impl."](../codeunit/9811.md) (2 calls: `ValidatePasswordStrength → GetPasswordMinLength`, `ValidatePasswordStrength → IsPasswordStrong`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Password Handler")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
