# Please write a function to generate a random, 8-character password.
# It should satisfy the following requirements:
# 1) There should be exactly two characters from each of the following categories:
# - Uppercase letters
# - Lowercase letters
# - Numerals 0 - 9
# - Special Characters from the string “!@#$%^&*”
# 2) No two character categories should be adjacent.
# bad example: AXyu74$^
# 3) The categories should be randomly ordered.
# good example: 8b&U6Nz! NLSUNULS

# shuffle and eliminate adjacency
generate_password()
There is a dictionary with four keys. Each key maps to a different category, and each key has a list of 2 characters as the value.
How do you shuffle the dictionary to build a string in random order, such that no key is adjacent?
The goal is to efficiently return an 8 character long string with no adjacent values.
Examples and test cases are in the problem statement
