4.0.0 Not Respecting RemovePassChars and PasswordLength

[FocusTechnologiesAdmin]

Hello!

Just reporting that our 4.0 is not respecting all characters in the RemovePassChars, such as underscore _ and left bracket {. But is respecting most characters set to be removed.

Also we have our PasswordLength set to 12, but it keeps making 16 character passwords. When we had it set to 16, it was making a 17 character password.

Thank you!

Our .plist is below

This is interesting. I'll be sure to take a look at this and see what I can find. So basically just for my notes:

• _ and { are not being removed
• Password length of 12 makes a 16 character password
• Password length of 16 makes a 17 character password
  I wonder if it has something to do with counting the separator when it shouldn't.
