This is a password generator that can generate strong and secure passwords. It is written in Python and uses the random module to generate random characters. The colorama module is used to print text in different colors.

The code is very simple to understand. The first few lines import the necessary modules. Then, a variable called characters is created that contains all the characters that can be used in a password.

The next few lines print the title of the program and ask the user to enter the length of the password and the number of passwords to generate.

The for loop then iterates over the number of passwords to generate. In each iteration, a new password is generated by joining random characters from the characters variable. The password is then printed to the console.

The time.sleep() function is used to pause the program for 0.5 seconds between each password generation. This is done to make the program more user-friendly.

Here is a step-by-step explanation of the code:

1. The random module is imported.
2. The colorama module is imported.
3. A variable called characters is created that contains all the characters that can be used in a password.
4. The title of the program is printed.
5. The user is asked to enter the length of the password.
6. The user is asked to enter the number of passwords to generate.
7. A for loop iterates over the number of passwords to generate.
8. In each iteration, a new password is generated by joining random characters from the characters variable.
9. The password is printed to the console.
10. The time.sleep() function is used to pause the program for 0.5 seconds between each password generation.

Gui version wiki:

This is a simple GUI application built with Python's Tkinter library. The application provides two main functionalities: password generation and password checking.

Features

• Password Generation: The application can generate random passwords based on user preferences. Users can specify the length of the password and the number of alternative passwords to generate. They also have the option to include special characters in the password.

• Password Checking: The application can also check the strength of a given password. It provides information about the number of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits in the password. It also estimates the time it would take to crack the password and gives a safety score from 0 to 5.

• Have i been pwned This function scans your password for all internet leaks and shows how many times it has been leaked.

Note

I use haveibeenpwned.com api for this function.

Important

The 'safety_point' rating, where I show the strength of your password, is purely personal, not scientific.

Usage

To run the application, simply execute the gui.py script with a Python interpreter. The application requires the Tkinter library, which is included in standard Python distributions.
