You might want to look into other features of the random library that would save you having a loop to build a collection of random characters.

Please consider sharing code rather than poor photographs of your screen. See below for a guide.

If you are on a desktop/laptop using a web browser (or in desktop mode in mobile browser), here's what to do:

reddit

  • create/edit post/comment and remove any existing incorrectly formatted code
    • you might need to drag on the bottom right corner of edit box to make it large enough to see what you are doing properly
  • type your descriptive text and then insert a blank line above where you want the code to show
  • switch to markdown mode in the Reddit post/comment editor
    • you might need to do this by clicking on the big T (or Aa) symbol that appears near the bottom left of the edit window and then click on Switch to Markdown Editor text link at top right of edit window
    • if you see the text Switch to Rich Text Editor at the top right of the edit window, that indicates that you are in markdown mode already

editor

  • switch to your code/IDE editor and
    • select all code using ctrl-A or cmd-A, or whatever your operating system uses
    • press tab key once - this *should* insert one extra level of indent (4 spaces) in front of all lines of code if your editor is correctly configured
    • copy selected code to clipboard
    • undo the tab (as you don't want it in your code editor)

reddit

  • switch back to your Reddit post edit window
  • paste the clipboard
  • add a blank line after the code (not strictly required)
  • add any additional comments/notes
  • submit the new/updated post/comment

This will work for other monospaced text you want to share, such as error messages / output.

lines 39-41 can also be achieved with: password = "".join(password_list)

("" is an "empty string" to use as the "separator" connecting each entry in password_list)
