• Help text
• Password advice text

Release version 1.3.0

Move user interface strings to a string resource

Fix broken links to Windows program help and Command Line program help in the main README.md file.

Create Help Window

The window should do the following:

• Tell the user how to use the app
• Show advice on how to properly use passwords and authentication

Investigate adding a release GitHub workflow

• Determine if a GitHub workflow can upload binaries to an Azure Blob storage account
• Determine if a GitHub workflow can create a release and tag a GitBranch
• Determine how to set the tag in a workflow and set the release notes
• Figure out if this is worth the work

Update copyright notice and app version

Complete Main Window

• Fix any user interface issues
• Fix any bugs
• Review code

This task does not include accessibility testing or moving strings to a string resource.

Here is the current status:

• Spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the Style was not automatically picked up from the App.xaml Resource Dictionary. Concluded that the best way to fix this problem was to manually set the style on the each Standard Window.

Investigated title bar issues

• Issue 1: The system menu does not appear when the user clicks on the icon. This looks like a bug in the WindowChromeWorker class. It's not clear why this occurs but could occur because the WindowChromeWork class does not process left button down messages in the client area.

• Issue 2: The icon in the title bar does not look right. This occurs because the Image class is loading a large icon and down-scaling it to a 16x16 icon. The fix is to use a 16x16 icon instead of a down scaled icon.

Test accessibility and fix any issues found

The following windows need to be tested:

• Main
• Create Password
• Help

The following applications should be used for testing:

• Narrator
• Accessibility Insights for Windows
• Inspect

When this task is moved to in progress, sub tasks should be created for each Window and any major fixes which are needed.

Add generate random Hex strings feature to the command line application

Validate password length in Create New Password window

Add option to automatically save default password size and type

• Add check box on create new password box
• Serialize default settings

Implement Service Factory

• Allows users to create singleton services (non-singleton services can be added later if needed).
• Add unit tests to test the code.

Implement Print Password Feature

• Sends the new password to a printer
• Give the user a place to enter the user name and site name

Easy to use Generator: Reorganize code files to make it easier to understand program

Here is what needs to be done:

1. The Window classes need to be moved to a Window directory and moved to the Window namespace.
2. Services need to be moved to the Services directory and the .Services namespace.
