That's a security mistake. <code>random</code> is pseudorandom and predictable. The right way is Python's <code>secrets</code> module — cryptographically secure, backed by your OS entropy source.</p> <p>So I built it properly:</p> <p>✅ Cryptographically secure (secrets module)<br> ✅ Custom length, character sets &amp; bulk generation<br> ✅ Built-in strength indicator<br> ✅ Optional clipboard copy<br> ✅ Full pytest test suite<br> ✅ Zero external dependencies</p> <p>🔗 GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/CyberwarriorAtt/Password-generator" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/CyberwarriorAtt/Password-generator</a></p> <p>Quick example:<br> python password_generator.py -l 24 -n 5 --no-symbols</p> <p>Feedback and contributions are very welcome!</p> <h1> Python #OpenSource #100DaysOfCode #CyberSecurity #Programming </h1> python 100daysofcode programming cybersecurity
