Password Generator Implementation

MediumPython

Problem

Implement a password generator (generate random strings given a charset) and be able to toggle charsets on/off for the password generation function.

Implement generate_password(length, charsets, enabled, seed). charsets maps names to character strings, and enabled maps names to booleans. Use only enabled character sets, generate exactly length characters with the supplied seed, and return an empty string when length is negative or no charset is enabled.

Constraints

  • 0 <= length <= 10^5
  • Each charset value is a string
  • Charset names are strings
  • Missing entries in enabled are treated as disabled
  • The supplied seed is an integer
  • Return an empty string for negative length or an empty active pool

Function Signature

def generate_password(length, charsets, enabled, seed):
