10.1. Generating Random Passwords

Credit: Devin Leung

Problem

You need to create new passwords randomly—for example, to assign them automatically to new user accounts.

Solution

One of the chores of system administration is installing new user accounts. Assigning a different, totally random password to each new user is a good idea. Save the following code as makepass.py:

from random import choice import string def GenPasswd(length=8, chars=string.letters+string.digits): return ''.join([ choice(chars) for i in range(length) ])
