Generation
Indicates whether the password was chosen by the
Principal or auto-supplied by the Authentication Authority.
principalchosen - the Principal is allowed to choose
the value of the password. This is true even if
the initial password is chosen at random by the UA or
the IdP and the Principal is then free to change
the password.
automatic - the password is chosen by the UA or the
IdP to be cryptographically strong in some sense,
or to satisfy certain password rules, and that the
Principal is not free to change it or to choose a new password.
