How It Works

1. User Input for Password Length:

   • The user is prompted to input the desired length of the password.

2. Choosing Character Sets:

   • The user is presented with four options to include in the password:
     1. Digits
     2. Letters
     3. Special characters
     4. Exit (to finish selecting character sets)
   • The user can select one or more of these options to build a custom character set for the password.

3. Password Generation:

   • A random password of the specified length is generated using the chosen character set.
   • The script ensures that the password is composed of characters randomly picked from the selected sets.

4. Displaying the Password:

   • The generated password is displayed as a string.

Features

• Secure Random Generation: Utilizes Python's random.choice to ensure secure random selection of characters.
• Customizable Character Sets: Allows users to choose from digits, letters, and special characters.
• User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-use command-line interface for input and selection.
• Flexible Length: Generates passwords of any specified length based on user input.
