Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve figured out this challenge. I’m just curious a to why all the generated passwords are 8 characters long. As far as I read the code, ‘length’ was not defined so I’m a bit confused.

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

Length is defined here when you call the generate_password() function with the argument 8
