When I’m creating a password for a sensitive account I want Lockbox to generate a password for me, so I can use something unique and secure.

Research

Acceptance Criteria

Password generation is value-add that complements existing user patterns and is not perceived as 'yet another' security blocker that prevents efficiency paths.

Context

In qualitative user research we see anxiety around the desire to create and have secure passwords, accompanied by the stress not having that password be personal or memorable, while also needing to meet different website requirements for multiple accounts.

The high prioritization of the problem statement "Creating a password that meets all of the requirements of a site/app" suggests that this a much-needed user value (there is pain associated with creating these passwords even if users don't want to have more secure passwords). We also see that align with the highly prioritized solution statement "I want to have secure passwords for my most sensitive accounts" (when users do want more secure passwords in some instances).
