About this video:
This video shows how to create a random password generator using strings and lists as our datatypes and choice() and sample() functions from the random module.

Working on these projects will test and improve our skills at the same time. At the end, we will have used our skills to make something that we can be proud of.

Code:
from random import choice, sample

letters_lower = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
letters_upper = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
numbers = "0123456789"
special_chars = "~!@#$%^&*()_+-{}[]"

pool_all_chars = letters_lower + letters_upper + numbers + special_chars

lower_1 = choice(letters_lower)
lower_2 = choice(letters_lower)
upper_1 = choice(letters_upper)
upper_2 = choice(letters_upper)
num_1 = choice(numbers)
sp_char_1 = choice(special_chars)

ex_char_1 = choice(pool_all_chars)
ex_char_2 = choice(pool_all_chars)
ex_char_3 = choice(pool_all_chars)
ex_char_4 = choice(pool_all_chars)

temp_pwd = lower_1 + lower_2 + upper_1 + upper_2 + num_1 + sp_char_1 + ex_char_1 + ex_char_2 + ex_char_3 + ex_char_4
print("".join(sample(temp_pwd, len(temp_pwd))))
