Hello there!

Fellow Arcade guy here, saw your project on the scrapbook

I'd advise you usesecrets as it is built to be cryptographically secure, while random can technically be predicted and isn't meant for security applications

here are their docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html

Happy hackathon!

Also btw you can also use strings instead of typing all the letters out manually

https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html

Hello!

Thank you so much for the valuable feedback and for checking out my project! 🙌

You're absolutely right about using 'secrets' for cryptographic security. I'll definitely consider switching to it for better security in password generation.

I appreciate the link to the documentation—I'll dive into it and make the necessary updates.

Thanks again for the advice and happy hackathon to you too! 🎉

Best, Felix G @felixgao-0
