Password Generator

Expand Post »
I know Remembering secure passwords is difficult. So I made this.
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import random, os
  2. a= ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','{',':','>','?','}','|','!','@','#','$','%','^','&','*','(',')','-','+']
  3.  
  4. z = int(raw_input("How many words in your password?: "))
  5. os.system("clear")
  6. List = []
  7. for x in xrange(z):
  8. 	List.append(random.choice(a))
  9. print "".join(List) 
  10. print "1) Yes"
  11. print "2) No"
  12. b = int(raw_input("Would you like to save this password to a text file?: "))
  13. if b == 1:
  14. 	c = raw_input("What is this password for?: ")
  15. 	x = open("%s.txt" % c, "w")
  16. 	y = "".join(List)
  17. 	x.write(y)
  18. 	x.close
  19. 	x = open("%s.txt" % c, "r")
  20. 	x.read
  21. 	print "Saved!"
  22. elif b == 2:
  23. 	raw_input("Press Enter To Continue")

Re: Password Generator
I created a Random Password Generator awhile back as well. Mine how ever has a GUI. You can find the complete program at CoderProfile.

I know Remembering secure passwords is difficult. So I made this.

  1. import random, os
  2. a= ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','{',':','>','?','}','|','!','@','#','$','%','^','&','*','(',')','-','+']
  3.  
  4. z = int(raw_input("How many words in your password?: "))
  5. os.system("clear")
  6. List = []
  7. for x in xrange(z):
  8. 	List.append(random.choice(a))
  9. print "".join(List) 
  10. print "1) Yes"
  11. print "2) No"

  13. if b == 1:
  14. 	c = raw_input("What is this password for?: ")
  15. 	x = open("%s.txt" % c, "w")
  16. 	y = "".join(List)
  17. 	x.write(y)
  18. 	x.close
  19. 	x = open("%s.txt" % c, "r")
  20. 	x.read
  21. 	print "Saved!"
  22. elif b == 2:
  23. 	raw_input("Press Enter To Continue")
Nice effort!

My comment, I see you are still using tabs for indentations. Avoid them and use 4 spaces as most other folks. If you use tabs, you sooner or later will mix them with spaces, then your code becomes a mess. Also, if you want to use the 2to3.py utility to convert your code for Python3 later on, it will kick you!

Also avoid os.system("clear"), it is simply not needed and is not at all portable to other systems.

Re: Password Generator
Instead of manually writing out all the letters and digits do this:

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import string
  2.  a = list(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "!@#$%^&*()-+={}|\/?><,.'")

Oh thats a neat piece of code. I didn't know you could do that.

Re: Password Generator
I actually learned that when I was making a random Password Generator myself .
BTW, That piece of code includes uppercase and lowercase letters. If you want just lower case letters you can use "string.ascii_lowercase" instead of "string.ascii_letters", or if you want all uppercase letters you can do "string.ascii_uppercase".

Re: Password Generator
Also the OP didn't want a zero in the digits part.

Re: Password Generator
Okay, instead use:

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import string
  2. digits  = "".join([loop for loop in range(1, 10)])
  3.  a = list(string.ascii_letters + digits + "!@#$%^&*()-+={}|\/?><,.'")

Re: Password Generator
Okay, this might even be mildly better:
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import string
  2. a = list(string.ascii_lowercase + "!@#$%^&*()-+={}|\/?><,.'") + range(1, 10)
  3.  
  4. print a
For Python3 change to list(range(1, 10)). Oh, the joys of Python!
