Simple Built-In Password Generator

There is a hidden gem in the .NET System.Web assembly which lets you create random passwords of any length in no time:

# total password length
$Length = 10

# number of non-alpha-chars
$NonChar = 3

Add-Type -AssemblyName 'System.Web'
$password = [System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword($Length,$NonChar)

"Your password: $password"
