v3.1.0
7d1b62b

Long time, no updates. I thought I was finally done, but I found some more things to do.

  • Passwords are built natively as a SecureString in memory, then converted to a normal String, instead of the other way around. While the older version wasn't what I'd call insecure, this is a significant step forward. See pull request #5.
  • A new -ExcludeCharacters parameter is now present. All characters present in the string will not be used in the generated password. Note that this only has an appreciable effect on random passwords. Idea suggested and tested by @wwc-trevor as pull request #6.
  • Packaging improvements.
