command-line-password-generator

a command-line password generator in Python that generates random passwords based on user-defined criteria, such as length and character types (letters, numbers, symbols). Allow users to specify password length and character set preferences.

    return None

password = ''.join(random.choice(characters) for _ in range(length))
