Feature Request: Show scoring / points with Get‐PasswordFilterResult

[darkpixel]

It would be nice if Get-PasswordFilterResult could output the score for a password. Maybe like:

PS C:\Users\aaron> Get-PasswordFilterResult -fullname "Test User" -username "test" -password "lowscorepass1!"
PointsForCharacters: 12
PointsForLowerCase: 0
PointsForUpperCase: 0
PointsForNumbers: 1
PointsForSymbols: 1
PointsForHavingLowerCase: 1
PointsForHavingUpperCase: 0
PointsForHavingNumbers: 1
PointsForHavingSymbols: 1
PointsTotal: 17
PointsRequired: 20
Result: ComplexityPointsNotMet
PS C:\Users\aaron>

I think it would help when tuning things.

Maybe even output the registry values related to the policy. i.e. PointsGivenPerCharacter: 1

Zark off stalebot

Apologies for the aggressive stalebot!

v1.1 has a new cmdlet for Get-PasswordFilterPolicy which shows the settings that apply.

I'll pin this suggestion for a future enhancement to be able to show the points assignment as suggested.

I just updated and was thinking to myself "I seem to recall something about a powershell command to calculate a password score, but I don't see it anywhere..."

Now that I found my old feature request it all makes sense. ;)
