Prohibit certain characters in passwords

Create an opt-in configuration option that tells the LAPS service to not use certain characters in LAPS-generated passwords, such as o, O, 0, l, 1, etc.

    I have just come across this issue... - take a look at my LAPS password....

    you would never guess the difference between lower case L and capital i

    please fix this - simple as changing the font, like the code  option in this post ๐Ÿ™‚

    Agreed, the LAPS options should be more userfriendly. Also the use of special characters should be limited (e.g. ignore ` ยด ' ").

    This is a great suggestion that would help avoid much frustration, makes a lot of sense.

    I don't mind characters like 0, 1, o, O, etc. where you can distinguish between them, but lower case L and capital i are indistinguishable (because of the font dictated by the page body CSS).

  • Thank you JasonLoosus - I agree this is a good idea and I have gotten the feedback from multiple customers. I have captured the feedback as a backlog item.
