Random is not cryptographically secure, and shoul
security contexts. For contexts which are not security sensitive, Random may be
preferable as it has a more convenient interface, and is likely to be faster.

-For the specific use-case of generating passwords, consider
-System.Web.Security.Membership.GeneratePassword, which provides a cryptographically
-secure method of generating random passwords.
-
In the final example, the password is generated using the Membership.GeneratePassword
-library method, which uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to generate a random
-series of characters. This method should be preferred when generating passwords, if possible, as it
-avoids potential pitfalls when converting the output of a random number generator (usually an int or
-a byte) to a series of permitted characters.
+library method, which generates a password with a bias, therefore should be avoided.
