I am new to coding so please treat me as someone who knows nothing, and explanations with answers would be extremely appreciated
I am trying to write a program that checks a randomly generated password against a VERY strict criteria. I want the program to run nested so that it can generate a password and then check it against the criteria before printing the output to the user. The criteria is:
It must contain at least 1 uppercase, lowercase and 1 number, AND it must be between 7-14 characters in length and two characters of the same type may not appear side-by-side for example DD, ff, 33, etc. However they can be of different variations i.e. tT or hH etc.
I am also not allowed to use functions that may be commonly used by experts, I have to define my own function/s. This is what I have so far, but I am aware it may have many errors: (I am suffering mainly with the checkPass function, as I have managed to get the password generator working)
def checkPass(password):
import random
lower = random.randint(97, 122)
upper = random.randint(65, 90)
num = random.randint(0, 9)
if lower and upper and num not in password and len(password) <7 or >14:
return False
else:
return True
def randomPassword(number):
import random
for loop in range(number):
password = ""
checkPass(password)
while checkPass is False:
randLength = random.randint(7, 14)
for n in range(randLength):
lower = random.randint(97, 122)
upper = random.randint(65, 90)
num = random.randint(0, 9)
randChoice = random.randint(1, 3)
if randChoice == 1:
choice = chr(lower)
elif randChoice == 2:
choice = chr(upper)
else:
choice = str(num)
password += choice
return password
checkPass(password)
print(password)
Thank you so much for those taking the time to look at my work and to help me, bless you all.
