A strong password is always useful, after all, almost every service wants to know a password for a user’s account. If you don’t trust the finished solutions or just want to determine how generated passwords should look, you can use Python to develop your own password generator. Since Python already comes with a lot of modules, you don’t have to install anything and you are ready after a few lines.
In this article we will first show you how to create a password from pure digits, then letters, special characters and umlauts will be added later. After all, the user should determine how long his password should be. The password then appears in the console.
We are also building a small user interface with PyQt so that users who do not like the console can also create a password. You can then simply create the password by clicking on a button and copy it out of a field. The user can also use checkboxes to determine whether uppercase or lowercase letters, special characters, digits or umlauts should appear in the password.
