short_description: retrieve or generate a random password, stored in a file
description:
- generates a random plaintext password and stores it in a file at a given filepath.
- 'If the file exists previously, it will retrieve its contents, behaving just like with_file.
Usage of variables like C("{{ inventory_hostname }}") in the filepath can be used to set up random passwords per host
(which simplifies password management in C('host_vars') variables).'

- 'Usage of variables like C("{{ inventory_hostname }}") in the filepath can be used to set up random passwords per host,
which simplifies password management in C("host_vars") variables.'
- A special case is using /dev/null as a path. The password lookup will generate a new random password each time,
but will not write it to /dev/null. This can be used when you need a password without storing it on the controller.
