This pull request improves the security and user experience of the create command in frappe_manager/commands.py by changing how the administrator password is handled. If the user does not provide an admin_pass, the system will now automatically generate a secure random password instead of defaulting to a weak hardcoded password.

Password handling improvements:

  • Changed the admin_pass parameter in the create command to be optional; if not provided, a secure random password is generated using the secrets and string modules. [1] [2]
  • Added imports for the secrets and string modules to support secure password generation

The generated password should include special characters for stronger security. Currently, it only uses letters and digits. Consider using string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation for the alphabet to create more secure passwords that meet common password complexity requirements.

Suggested change
alphabet = string.ascii_letters + string.digits
alphabet = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
