The Secure Password Generator is a Python application that creates strong, random passwords based on customizable security criteria, including length and the use of uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This tool allows users to easily generate complex passwords that are difficult to guess, enhancing online security. With both console-based and optional GUI versions using Tkinter, users can interact with the generator to meet their specific security needs. Additional features include a "Copy to Clipboard" function for easy use. Ideal for those looking to improve password strength, this project demonstrates core Python programming and basic GUI development skills.
The Secure Password Generator is a Python-based application that generates strong, random passwords based on user-specified criteria. This project helps users create passwords that are secure and difficult to guess, supporting criteria such as length, inclusion of uppercase letters, digits, and symbols. The project can be run in a console-based format, with an optional GUI built using Tkinter to provide a more user-friendly interface.
- Password Criteria Selection: Users can specify the password length and select character types (uppercase letters, numbers, symbols) to customize the strength of their password.
- Random Password Generation: The program generates a password based on selected criteria, ensuring it meets security standards.
- Display Generated Password: The password is shown to the user immediately after generation.
- Copy to Clipboard: Users can copy the generated password to the clipboard with a single click in the GUI version.
- Optional GUI: A graphical interface (optional) built using Tkinter allows easy interaction with the application.
- Python: Core functionality for password generation logic.
- Tkinter: For building the optional graphical user interface (GUI).
- Pyperclip: Provides clipboard support for copying generated passwords (optional, depending on version).
- Run the script in a Python environment.
- Follow the prompts to enter your desired password criteria, including length and character types.
- The generated password will be displayed in the console.
