SYNOPSIS

Imports plain-text passwords into the compromised password store

SYNTAX

Import-CompromisedPasswords [-Filename] <String> [[-BatchSize] <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Import-CompromisedPasswords cmdlet will import a file containing new line-separated plain-text passwords into the compromised password store.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Import-CompromisedPasswords -Filename "D:\password-protection\plain-text-passwords.txt"

Imports passwords from the file "D:\password-protection\plain-text-passwords.txt" into the compromised password store.

PARAMETERS

-BatchSize

Specifies how many passwords to read from the file before committing them to disk.

In order to minimize the impact of memory usage when importing passwords, the passwords are read from the file and committed to the store in batches of this size. The larger the batch size, the faster the import, but the more memory is used. If left unspecified, the default value of 5,000,000 is used which provides an adequate balance of memory usage and speed.
