Simple Password Generator

Just a simple password generator, written in Python 🐍.

Why?

I was bored.

Overview

This Python script provides a simple password generator that allows users to specify the desired length and strength of the generated password. The generator ensures a mix of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and special characters, meeting the specified strength criteria.

Features

• Generates random passwords based on user-defined length and strength.
• Incorporates a mix of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and special characters for enhanced security.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/garrywashere/password-generator.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd password-generator

3. Import the script in your program:

   from password_generator import Generator
   gen = Generator()
   
   new_password = gen.generate(8, 1)

4. The generated password will be returned.

   • The length parameter determines the total number of characters in the password (minimum strength * 4)
   • The strength parameter determines the minimum number of each type of character included in the password. Example:

   •  gen.generate(4, 1)
      # At least one of each type of character is used
      '8-vR'

   •  gen.generate(8, 2)
      # At least two of each type of character are used
      'g_9z2XU^'
