Random Password Generator

1.1.3 uploaded which has two minor changes (in the OP). With this version, you can set a static seed number. Using that feature, you can see how truly random this software is because the same static seed, from my own testing, will not generate the same passwords.
 
I tried it, but it keeps generating "hunter2" ... :D
 
Uh, what? That's unpossible! :p
 
Uploaded 1.1.4 which added an option to set the number of threads. It must be greater than 0 (because it needs something, right?) and less than or equal to the logical processor count (8 in a Core i7-6700K). The default is M which will use the maximum number of logical processors.
 
Updated to version 1.1.5 where I finally got around to fixing a crash on multicore processors (the more cores the more likely it is to happen) where a racing condition would cause two threads to submit a password at the same time and the second would make it crash. It now properly locks the collection so one thread will wait for the other so it won't crash.

I also updated it to .NET Framework 4.8 because compiled it using Visual Studio 2022.
