Check constraints
for constraint, pattern in constraints:
len(re.findall(pattern, password))
constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password))
Your code so far
import re
import secrets
import string
def generate_password(length, nums, special_chars, uppercase, lowercase):
# 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
while True:
password = ''
# Generate password
for _ in range(length):
password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
constraints = [
(nums, r'\d'),
(lowercase, r'[a-z]'),
(uppercase, r'[A-Z]'),
(special_chars, fr'[{symbols}]')
]

for constraint, pattern in constraints:

# User Editable Region
return password
# new_password = generate_password(8)
