Okay, I don't study this, but I don't think that's what "cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator" means. Not all things vaguely related to cryptography are required a CSPRNG and these answers are not being used cryptographically at all in many cases (like you just reading it over the phone to the representative). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Dylan16807 9y agoA bog-standard RNG might generate passwords depending on what second you ran it, so an attacker can easily make a list of all the passwords generated in a specific month or year. People have lost a lot of bitcoins this way. It might be okay for a security question, but better safe than sorry. Just use a secure generator for everything.
