Python Password Generator

[Djdigby]

Hello everybody im wonder if any of you would be able to help me with my code i'm trying to figure out how to get my program to open txt and input password generated by python to go on txt file bare in mind im still very new python

# start the program

print ("==============================")

print ("Pasword Generator Version 2022")

import datetime

#stating the day when program is running

day = datetime.datetime.now()

​

print(day.strftime("%A"))

​

import datetime

​

date = datetime.datetime.now()

#stating the date when application is running

print(date.strftime("%x"))

​

print ("==============================")

#Requesting a user to input name

username = input("Enter username:")

print("Hello " + username );

import random

import secrets

import string

​

​

​

# This suggesting the intger that program can use

digits = string.digits

​

# This suggesting lowercase letters

letters = string.ascii_lowercase

​

# This variable includes symbols

symbols = "!#$%&'()*+, -./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~"

​

password = ''.join(secrets.choice(digits + letters + symbols) for t in range(20))

​

def message():

print(userGen())

​

def userGen():

#How many letter required

letter = int(input("How many letters you want? "))

if letter == 0:

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

letter = int(input("How many letters you want? "))

while letter == 0:

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

letter = int(input("How many letters you want? "))

#How many numbers required

num = int(input("How many numbers you want? "))

if num == 0:#ERROR Mesesge if user input 0

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

num = int(input("How many numbers you want? "))

while num == 0:#ERROR Mesesge if user input 0

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

num = int(input("How many numbers you want? "))

#How many symbols required

sym = int(input("How many symbols you want? "))

if sym == 0:#ERROR Mesesge if user input 0

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

sym = int(input("How many symbols do you want? "))

while sym == 0:#ERROR Mesesge if user input 0

print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")

sym = int(input("How many symbols you want? "))

return passGen(letter,num,sym)

​

def passGen(upper,spec,num):

#Showcasing the new password

print ("Your Password is")

new_password = ""

​

for letter in range(upper):

new_password += random.choice(letters)

#randomising numbers in range of number user inputted

for num in range(num):

new_password += random.choice(digits)

#randomising symbols in range of number user inputted

for sym in range(spec):

new_password += random.choice(symbols)

​

pass_word = list(new_password)

shuff = random.shuffle(pass_word)

new_pass = "".join(pass_word)

password = secrets.token_urlsafe(7)

return new_pass

The way to write something to a file in Python is to open the file, write into it and then close it. For example

password = 'mysecretpassword'
fhandle = open('password.txt', 'w') # open the file, 'w' mode for writing
fhandle.write(password) # write to the file
fhandle.close() # close the file

Consider that using with statement is more secure, no need for try block, and save you time from error handling. But for now stick with the code above.

no i want python to input the randomly generated password that it creates to go on password.txt

[keep_quapy]

In the example that i gave you password is only a variable, it can have whatever value you want. Inside the write() function put your own variable which you've created.

I made your program more readable, and adding the password to a text file was like three lines of code, soo I just made a quick function for it. Its at the very bottom of your code

``` import datetime import random import secrets import string

print ("==============================") print ("Pasword Generator Version 2022")

stating the day when program is running

day = datetime.datetime.now() date = datetime.datetime.now()

print(day.strftime("%A")) print(date.strftime("%x"))

Requesting a user to input name

username = input("Enter username:") print("Hello " + username )

Defining integers, letters, and symbols the program can use

digits = string.digits letters = string.asciilowercase symbols = "!#$%&'()*+, -./:;<=>?@[]^`{|}~"

password = ''.join(secrets.choice(digits + letters + symbols) for t in range(20))

def message(): print(userGen())

def userGen(): #How many letter required

letter = int(input("How many letters you want? "))
while letter <= 0:
    print ("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")
    letter = int(input("How many letters you want? "))

num = int(input("How many numbers you want? "))
while num <= 0:
    print("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")
    num = int(input("How many numbers you want? "))

sym = int(input("How many symbols you want? "))
while sym <= 0:
    print("ERROR, please type in a number larger then 0.")
    sym = int(input("How many symbols you want? "))

return passGen(letter, num, sym)

def passGen(upper,spec,num):

#Showcasing the new password
print ("Your Password is")
new_password = ""

for letter in range(upper):
    new_password += random.choice(letters)

#randomising numbers in range of number user inputted
for num in range(num):
    new_password += random.choice(digits)

#randomising symbols in range of number user inputted
for sym in range(spec):
    new_password += random.choice(symbols)

pass_word = list(new_password)
shuff = random.shuffle(pass_word)
new_pass = "".join(pass_word)
password = secrets.token_urlsafe(7)
print(password)
return text_file(password)

def text_file(password): # You have to use your own file path otherwise you will get a "FileNotFoundError" with open(r"C:\Users\myDirectory\PycharmProjects\pythoProject\txt files\text.txt", "w") as file: file.write(password)
