GitHub user wwc-trevor had a great idea. What if I could add a feature that would exclude certain characters from being used in passwords? Well, since I had the day off from work, I did! This adds a new parameter, -ExcludeCharacters (alias: -Exclude), that accepts a string. Any characters in the string will not be used in any randomly-generated passwords. Due to technical limitations with how the wordlist mode works, excluded characters may still be present in word-based passwords, but will not be used for separators. This may be fixed in a future release.
This commit adds some additional clarifications to all help files to remind users that the value specified to -ExcludeCharacters will be parsed for special characters. This is an intrinsic feature of PowerShell and cannot be changed, but enclosing the string in single quotes will prevent it from being parsed.
I should have done this when closing issue #4, but I didn't. Oh well.
