Hi Navid I think I am correct in saying that you can generate any string to use as the authkey, the authkey module just maps that string to the GeoServer username, which GeoServer then uses further for checking role based access, etc.
The authkey module generates UUID v4. It will do this for any missing authkeys if you click Security > Authentication > [authkey filter] > Synchronize user/group service and it will write these to $GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security/user group/default/authkeys.properties You also have the option to change the mapper from this Property file to a User property or a Web Service, the latter is what we personally use.
