Random Password Generator with HTML and JavaScript

 

Random Password Generator with HTML and JavaScript

In today's tutorial, we'll explore how to create a Random Password Generator using HTML and JavaScript. This tool is handy for generating secure passwords tailored to your needs. 


**Introduction**

Have you ever wondered how websites generate those strong and secure passwords? It's simpler than you might think. We'll break down the process step by step.


**HTML Structure**

The HTML structure is straightforward. We have a container with a header, an input field to set the password length, and a button to generate the password. The result is displayed in a read-only input field.


**JavaScript Magic**

Behind the scenes, JavaScript makes the magic happen. The `generatePassword` function fetches the user-specified length, defines a character set, and uses a loop to generate a random password. The result is then displayed in the designated input field.


**Practical Demonstration**

To see it in action, click the "Demo" button below. You can customize the length to suit your security needs.
