Simple Random Password Generator Using Powershell
I know PowerShell is very verbose in its command names, but this is a bit long. New-SimplePassword would be better because "random" is already implied by the fact that this is a password generator. If you upgrade the function to also allow the more traditional "random" passwords you could simply call it "New-Password" and make it the ultimate password generator function.

How do hackers get your password?
Even if you generate strong passwords and make sure they are as secure as possible, hackers can still get their hands on them. In addition to cracking your password, hackers can:
breach an online service you use and steal your password from there
use a virus to log your keystrokes as you log in
trick you into giving your password to them with a phishing scam or social engineering
buy passwords from another hacker on an online black market
Modern hacking is a highly automated activity that targets millions of users at the same time. That’s why you should use one password only for one account, instead of using the same ones on different accounts. Even if someone gets your password, they can log into only a single account. Your other accounts are safe.

How does the tool measure password strength?
The tool automatically calculates password entropy. Password entropy indicates how easy it is for a password cracking software to guess a password. The more passwords the software has to try before guessing the password the higher the entropy is.
The calculation is an assessment of how difficult it is to crack the password with methods commonly used by hackers. These include brute force cracking and dictionary attacks. Based on the mathematical result, the tool defines password strength as weak, medium, strong, or super strong.
The stronger the password is, the longer it takes for hackers to get the right result using programs that test even millions of alternatives in a second. Theoretically, it’s possible to crack any password. However, with a strong enough password it could still take millions of years.
Can a strong password be cracked?
A strong password can be cracked, but you can make it virtually impossible for criminals. Hackers use programs to crack passwords. They can try out millions of alternatives in a second. That’s why passwords should be long and complex. If your password is strong enough, it could take millions of years to crack it with current technology. However, even if you use a strong password generator for creating your secure passwords, criminals can still steal them, or trick you into giving them away.

I’ve tried to find alternatives but none of the password generators have as good customizability options. Currently I use a random string generator that just let’s me pick the characters and length, but it’s not very good since it doesn’t remember the options when I refresh the page.
So what (web) password generators do sysadmims use nowadays for user passwords?
