Create a simple python password checker.

Today you will learn how to make a simple password checker in python. This is a perfect project for any beginner.

What are the minimum requirments for a good and secure password?

• Password length (min 8 characters)
• Numbers (1234)
• Upper cases (ABCD)
• Lower case (abcd)
• Special symbol (!@#$%)

def password_check(passwd): 
      
    SpecialSym =['!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*'] 
    val = True
      
    if len(passwd) < 8: 
        print("Lengtt should be atleast 8 characters") 
        val = False
          
    if len(passwd) > 20: 
        print("Password should not exeed 20 characters") 
        val = False
          
    if not any(char.isdigit() for char in passwd): 
        print('Password should contain a digit') 
        val = False
          
    if not any(char.isupper() for char in passwd): 
        print("Password should contain atleast 1 upper case") 
        val = False
          
    if not any(char.islower() for char in passwd): 
        print("Password should contain atleast 1 lower case") 
        val = False
          
    if not any(char in SpecialSym for char in passwd): 
        print("Password should contain 1 or more symbols like: !@$") 
        val = False
    if val: 
        return val 
   
def main(): 
    passwd = input("Enter your password : ")
      
    if (password_check(passwd)): 
        print("Password is valid") 
    else: 
        print("Invalid Password !!") 
                
if __name__ == '__main__': 
    main()
