    Example migrated from Codex:

    Form a new password by appending your own password string to the generated password. 

    add_filter( 'random_password', 'my_random_password' );

function my_random_password() {
    $characters ='abcdefghijclmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJCLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
    $length = 10;
    $password = '';
    for( $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++ ) {
        $password .= substr( $characters , wp_rand( 0, strlen( $characters ) - 1 ), 1 );
    }
    return $password;
}
