[System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword() - Type Not found










1















Why do I get Type Not Found when trying to use this class/method in PowerShell?



 [System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword()


Do I need to install a module or something to make use of it?

  • What version of .NET and PowerShell are using? I see this on 5.1 in both Win7 and Win10. Additionally, GeneratePassword requires two arguments.

  • It did not apply to this question and was misleading since that type should be loaded as a default on PowerShell v5.1 so I removed it.
