See my password generator here
The task at hand was to create a random password generator. The conditions included:
- a length between 8 and 128 characters
- one or more of four types of characters:
- lowercase
- uppercase
- numeric
- special
Starter code was provided, with the HTML and CSS pages completed. My responsibility was to write the JavaScript and provide functionality to the page.
A list of what I did to build the password generator:
- Declare the global variables, which contained the character options arrays.
- Create a variable to store the password, once generated.
- Add a prompt for the password length, which was then stored in a variable.
- Convert said password length into an Integer and check whether if fits the min/max length requirements.
- Collect character type preferences and ensure at least one was selected.
- Using the previously selected characters, generate a password - using the arrays and a math function, it randomly generates a sequence of characters with the length that the user has chosen.
