+### Password Generation Method
 
 By default, the password generation is handled with Laravel's `Str::password()` helper method. This will generate a random, strong password that is 32
 characters long for you. If you have a `maxLength()` set on the input, that length will be used instead for the character length.

+### Password Max Length
+
+When using the default password generator (`Str::password()`), we will tell it to use the `maxLength()` that is set on the input. This means that
+if you set a maximum length of 10 characters, the password generated by this action will be 10 characters long. By default, it is 32 characters long
+if a max length is not set.
+
+```php
+Password::make('password')
+    ->regeneratePassword()
+    ->maxLength(10),
+```
+
+> **Note:** Due to how Laravel's `Str::password()` helper works, the password max length must be a minimum of 3 characters long.
+
 Now when the button is clicked, `my-custom-password` will be filled into the input instead.
