About The Project

My project is a CLI application that aims to validate the strength of passwords, generate random passwords, and create passwords based on user inputs. The idea for this project was inspired by a similar project on Kaggle, which can be found at here. The password generation and validation functions of this application are based on the Microsoft Password Requirements.
