#Simple password generator to generate passwords with desired characters length each (www.networkwalks.com)



import random
characterset = '0123456789' + 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' + 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' + '!@#$%^&*'
no_of_passwords = input("Please enter how many passwords do you want: ")
length = input("Please enter length of each password: ")

for j in range(0,int(no_of_passwords)):
    pass1 = ""
    for i in range(0,int(length)):
     pass1 = pass1 + pass1.join((random.choice(characterset)))
    print(pass1)
