Weekly Challenge #10 - Password Generator
For this challenge, you need to implement a program that takes a set of at least 5 password rules and generate a password that satisfies those rules. Most password fields let you validate that the password matches the rules but won't let you generate a valid password that matches them. Be creative with the rules, the goal is to make fun of overly complex set of rules that are seen in some applications!
Winners
- In first place, @nikpundik wins $75 with Basswords™. The game is actually --really-- fun, trying to figure out what are the rules by trying passwords out! https://github.com/Algorithm-Arena/weekly-challenge-10-password-generator/issues/1
- In second place, @Uzo2005 wins $50. Creating an algorithm to generate a password is hard, so this submission uses an LLM to do the work! The upside is that you can add any constraints you want dynamically. https://github.com/Algorithm-Arena/weekly-challenge-10-password-generator/issues/4
- In third place, @maciejSzcz wins $25. This submission uses a markov chain of leaked passwords to generate a real-life looking password that match rules. Terrible for security but perfect for this challenge! https://github.com/Algorithm-Arena/weekly-challenge-10-password-generator/issues/2
- As honorable mention, @evgenyvinnik built a set of constraints checker including emojis and palindromes ❤️🎶🔥🎶❤️. https://github.com/Algorithm-Arena/weekly-challenge-10-password-generator/issues/3
