How to Create a Password Generator App in Python

In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Create a Password Generator App in Python'. We will learn how to generate a random password based on the given length. The objective here is to allow you to generate a random password that contains specific characters. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming for generating a password. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest way for creating a secure password. So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. import random
  2.  
  3.  
  4. ret = False
  5.  
  6. while True:
  7. print("\n================== Password Generator App ==================\n\n")
  8.  
  9. passlen = int(input("Enter the length of password: "))
  10. s="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
  11. p = "".join(random.sample(s,passlen ))
  12. print("\n\nYour password is:", p)
  13.  
  14.  
  15. opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
  16.  
  17. if opt.lower() == 'yes':
  18. ret=False
  19. elif opt.lower() == 'no':
  20. ret=True
  21. print("Exiting program....")
  22.  
  23. else:
  24. print("Please enter yes/no:")
  25. break
  26.  
  27. if ret == False:
  28. continue

This Python script generates a random password of the specified length. It prompts the user to enter the desired length of the password, then generates a random string of alphanumeric characters (both uppercase and lowercase) using the random.sample() function. It then prints the generated password and asks the user if they want to try again or exit the program.
