Password generator
1) Problem Statemer
reate a simple password generator using python 3.x
2) Software Requirements
* Software: Python 3.x
3) Theory
‘A password generator is a tool that creates random and secure passwords that are difficult to guess
or crack. The strength of a password depends on its length and complexity, which is achieved by
using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
Concepts Used:
+ Random Module: Used to randomly select characters for the password.
+ Character Sets: Combination of uppercase, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters to
ensure password complexity.
+ User Input: Allows users to specify the length of the password.
4) Code
import random
import string
def generate_password(length):
"Generates a random password of specified length."
iflength <6:
print("Password length should be at least 6 characters for better securty.")
return None
characters = string.ascil_letters + string digits + string.punctuation
password =" join(random.choice(characters) for _in range(length))
return password
def main()
‘Main function to run the password generator.
print("Welcome to the Password Generator!")
while True:ty:
length = int(input("\nEnter the desired password length (or type ‘0' to exit: "))
if length == 0:
print("Exiting the Password Generator. Stay secure!”)
break
elif length <6
print("Please enter a length of atleast 6 characters.")
else:
password = generate_password(length)
print(f"Your generated password is: (password}")
except Valuetrror:
print(“Invalid input! Please enter a valid number.”)

Exiting the Password Generator. Stay secure!6) Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
‘+ Secure Passwords: Generates strong and random passwords to enhance online security.
+ Customizable Length: Users can specify the desired length of the password according to their security needs.
+ Easy to Use: The program is simple and requires minimal user input.
Disadvantages:
+ No Password Storage: The program does not store or manage the generated passwords.
+ Single Device Use: Passwords generated are only available on the local device and not synced across multiple
devices.
7) Future Scope
+ Password Strength Indicator: Add a feature to evaluate the strength of the generated password.
+ GUI Implementation: Create a graphical user interface (GU!) using frameworks like Tkinter or PyQt for
better user interaction.
+ Integration with Password Manager: Extend the project to save passwords securely in a password
manager.
+ Custom Character Set: Allow users to choose which types of characters to include in their passwords
8) Conclusion
The password generator is a simple yet powerful tool that demonstrates how to create secure and random
passwords using Python. This project helps in understanding the concepts of randomization, character
‘manipulation, and user input handling. The program can be enhanced with additional features to meet
modern security standards and user needs, making it a valuable tool for protecting online accounts.
