Python Random Password Generator
Fri, 20 May 2011I was playing with Python some more and made a nice little Python Random Password Generator that you can use. You can just copy/paste and hit F5 in IDLE. I'm using Python 2.7, but I don't think it matters in this case.
# Password Generator
# JREAM.com
import string
import random
def rand(x):
s = string.lowercase[:26]
s += string.uppercase[:26]
s += string.digits
return ''.join(random.choice(s) for i in range(x))
def save(result):
fname = 'password.txt'
file = open(fname, 'a');
for i in result:
print >> file, i
file.close()
print 'File saved ('+ fname +')'
if __name__ == '__main__':
howMany = raw_input('How many characters do you want your passwords? ')
howLong = raw_input('How many times? ')
howMany = int(howMany)
howLong = int(howLong)
result = []
# Builds a list of passwords
for i in range(howMany):
result.append(rand(howLong)) # Thanks ledinscak for the type correction :)
saveQ = raw_input('Do you want to save? y/n: ');
if saveQ == 'y':
# Save the list of passwords
save(result)
else:
print 'File not saved'
print result
