### `string` password
A `string` password can be of variable strength depending on the password used. To turn it into a strong encryption key the [PBKDF2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2) key derivation function is used.
A `string` password can vary in strength depending on the password chosen. To turn it into a strong encryption key the [PBKDF2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2) key derivation function is used.
This function derives an encryption key from a password and is slow by design. It uses a lot of CPU resources for a fraction of a second, applying key stretching to the password to reduce vulnerability to brute force attacks.
To generate a `string` password for the `AuthorizationServer`, you can run the following command in the terminal:
