Tell us what’s happening:

hi, pls I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I tried to assign generate_password(8) to the variable new_password but it didn’t pass

Your code so far

import secrets
import string


def generate_password(length):
    # Define the possible characters for the password
    letters = string.ascii_letters
    digits = string.digits
    symbols = string.punctuation

    # Combine all characters
    all_characters = letters + digits + symbols

    password = ''
    # Generate password
    for _ in range(length):
        password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
        
    return password
    

# User Editable Region

    new_password = generate_password(8)

# User Editable Region

You should not call this function from within the function.

Additionally, any code in the function (indentation indicates which code is part of the function) after the “return” statement will never run.

Mod Edit: SOLUTION REMOVED

  • Make sure you assign the result to new_password outside the function definition

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
