Nice videos for Python beginners. I like small projects that focus on explaining a single topic and yet leave room for creativity. Thanks a lot!

Oh this is an easy one!
Add an input for a user. And then a single print line that just says
“you really trust a random python script with your password? You should probably change your passwords”

[gaganwishalnadipalli]

import string
a, b, c = input('Enter the password: '), [list(string.ascii_lowercase), list(string.ascii_uppercase), list(string.digits), list(string.punctuation)], 0
for x in b:
for d in a:
if d in x:
c+=1
break

i think this would be better

Extra 👍👍👍 for checking against common/default password list as filter

One of the greatest Creater coder programmer he is helped me a lot in my projects respect++++ Brother😄😄

Why not just:
score += sum[characters]
and scale the total score 0-8?

[lakewobegonesbest]

Probably mentioned already but importing re module and using regex is more ‘elegant.’ The scoring is overly complicated, especially since any() returns a bool. A binary output, like pass or fail, makes more sense to me.

Is this on powershell? And since it's python can it be used on Linux

[cheesium]

Whenever I run the program, it always gives me this error.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 1914381: character maps to <undefined>

Someone please help me I really want to finish this program properly.

Dude, do you have any code examples and how to implement them for 2FA/OTA in a webpage?

[kevinwestrom]

You didn't seem to have connected the "characters" to the password checking, for checking all of the types within it; also you mentioned in the downloading of the "most common passwords.txt" file from google, but you didn't mention where to be sure to store it/save the file to, in order for the IDE to detect/know about the 'most common passwords' file for checking the password against it. If importing the file into the program early on, or connecting it to the quick program later on, in a linked manner..

Neural, can you do voice identification?

[HypnosisBear]

Yo! That's an exiting video.
Looks like I'm first.

[zenyth]

Has anyone got the pseudocode for this?

[SanjayTheFreelancer]

1st like and comment. It's cool. Go ahead.

Will take thousands of years to crack right?
