Description

This Python script generates random passwords of varying lengths and complexities. Users can specify the desired length and inclusion of uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Code Snippet

import random
import string

def generate_password(length, uppercase=True, numbers=True, symbols=True):
    characters = string.ascii_lowercase
    if uppercase:
        characters += string.ascii_uppercase
    if numbers:
        characters += string.digits
    if symbols:
        characters += string.punctuation
    password = ''.join(random.choice(characters) for i in range(length))
    return password

# Example usage:
password = generate_password(12, uppercase=True, numbers=True, symbols=True)
print(f"Generated Password: {password}")

password = generate_password(8, uppercase=False, numbers=True, symbols=False)
print(f"Generated Password: {password}")
