Generator Version 1.2 Beta 1

Changes

• Added an easy to use version of Generator. This version has a graphical user interface. It is not done but it does work. Here is what it does:

  • It can generate all types of passwords which do not have space characters in them
  • It defaults to 20 character passwords with letters, numbers and symbols

• Here is what is left:

  • Add an easy to use password strength indicator. Right now, the app displays a text string describing the password's strength.
  • Add a way to let the user change the default password length and type
  • Add the Help and Advice window
  • Test for accessibility
  • Move strings from the XAML files to a string resource file

Known Issues

• The Create New Password window does not validate the new password's length. Make sure you put in a length from 1 to 256. The program will malfunction if an invalid length (ex, 0, -1. 257, foo, etc.) is put into the text field.
