The Password Generator is a web application built using Tailwind CSS and JavaScript. It allows users to generate random passwords based on their specified criteria such as the length and character types.
Output Preview: Let us have a look at how the final card will look like.
Approach- Integrate the Tailwind CSS via CDN Link in your HTML code. Use different HTML elements to structure the web page and style them using different Tailwind utilities.
- Users can input the desired length of the password (between 4 and 20 characters) using a number input field. Checkboxes allow users to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols in the generated password.
- Buttons are provided to generate a password and copy the generated password to the clipboard. Functions are defined to show and hide error messages for input validation.
- The
generatePassword function creates a password based on user input, considering the selected options for length and character types. Event listeners are added to the “Generate Password” and “Copy Password” buttons to trigger the corresponding functions when clicked. - When the “Copy Password” button is clicked, the generated password is selected and copied to the clipboard, with a success alert displayed.
