And people say that PowerShell isn't readable or intuitive.

You can also do it like this:

  "foobar" | Out-File password.txt -Encoding ASCII -NoNewline

  Get-FileHash password.txt -Algorithm SHA1

  del password.txt

That's readable and intuitive, but the downside is it puts your password in a file.
