# Password Generator and Strength Checker

This repository contains two Bash scripts:

- ```generate_password.sh```: Generates a random password based on user-specified length and strength level.

- ```check_password_strength.sh```: Checks the strength of a provided password based on length, character variety (numbers, letters, special characters).

## Usage

#### generate_password.sh 

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the directory containing the scripts.

3. Run the following command to generate a password with default settings (length: 16, strength: medium):

```Bash

./generate_password.sh

```

4. Optionally, you can specify the desired password length and strength level:

```Bash

./generate_password.sh  

```

- `````` (integer): Desired password length (default: 16).

- `````` (integer): Strength level (1: Easy, 2: Medium, 3: Hard, default: 2).

#### check_password_strength.sh

1. Run the following command and enter your password when prompted:

```Bash

./check_password_strength.sh

```

2. The script will analyze the password and provide feedback on its strength.

## Features

#### Password Generator:

- Generates random passwords of specified length.

- Offers different strength levels with varying character sets.

- Defaults to a medium strength level for a balance of security and usability.

#### Password Strength Checker:

- Analyzes password length and character variety.

- Provides feedback on password strength (weak, strong).

## Installation
