Ordinarily I’d do something like this:

byte[] randomBytes = new byte[bytes];
string randomString = Convert.ToBase64String(new RNGCryptoServiceProvider().GetBytes(randomBytes));

    I managed to find an equivalent.

    using Windows.Security.Cryptography;

IBuffer randomBuffer = CryptographicBuffer.GenerateRandom(PASSWORD_SALT_LENGTH);
string randomString = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(randomBuffer)

    I hope this is of use to someone else.
