Generates a random password. We recommend that you specify the maximum length and include every character type that the system you are generating a password for can support. By default, Secrets Manager uses uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and the following characters in passwords: !\"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~

Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action.

Required permissions: secretsmanager:GetRandomPassword. For more information, see IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager and Authentication and access control in Secrets Manager.

Note:

This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginGetRandomPassword and EndGetRandomPassword.

InvalidRequestException A parameter value is not valid for the current state of the resource. Possible causes: The secret is scheduled for deletion. You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call. The secret is managed by another service, and you must use that service to update it. For more information, see Secrets managed by other Amazon Web Services services.
