Capitalized passphrases

[dominikduennebacke]

I would like to capitalize the passphrases to add another layer of security without compromising an easy way to convey the phrases verbally (in person or over the phone). Would it be possible to add a switch -Capitalized?

PS> New-Passphrase -AmountOfWords 4 -Separator "." -Capitalized

Car.Monitor.Phone.Lamp

@dominikduennebacke , the IncludeUppercase switch is already available, does this cover your needs?

I don't know if you have seen this, but I have tried documenting the module over here: https://passphraser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/#parameters

Let me know if what you think, if you still want something similar to the Capitalize switch, I will look into it when time allows it.

@lagebj: I did notice the IncludeUppercase switch, however this creates uppercase characters randomly.

cAR.moNItor.PHONe.Lamp

I would like to only have the first letter of a phrase capitalized

Car.Monitor.Phone.Lamp

Background is that if a passphrase is provided over the phone I can tell the user: "The first letter for each word I'm going to tell you is uppercase, the rest lowercase" instead of basically spelling each character "lowercase c, uppercase 'A', uppcerase 'R'"

Many thanks for taking the time!

@dominikduennebacke The IncludeUppercase switch should not create random uppercase characters the way you describe, but rather create capitalized words, like:

> New-Passphrase -IncludeNumbers -IncludeUppercase

If this is not the case in your environment I need to investigate further. What version of Powershell are you running?
