Hi guys. I have a project I am making for a random password generator. I am having an issue with Line 30 with the “break”. It is saying the break is outside of a loop. I’m not sure what to do here or what to put in its place.

okay, see how the if statement isn’t indented to fit in the while loop.
instead of this:

# generate password meeting constraints 
while True: 
  pwd = ''
  for i in range(pwd_length):
    pwd += ''.join(secrets.choice(alphaebet))

if (any(char in special_chars for char in pwd) and 
   sum(char in digits for char in pwd)>=2): 
     break 
     print(pwd)

do this:

# generate password meeting constraints 
while True: 
  pwd = ''
  for i in range(pwd_length):
    pwd += ''.join(secrets.choice(alphaebet))

  if (any(char in special_chars for char in pwd) and 
     sum(char in digits for char in pwd)>=2): 
       break 
       print(pwd)

hope this works!

Hi! Thank you for your help! I am not seeing the difference between your code and mine. Maybe my eyes are burning at this point.

okay for the if statement to be read in the while loop, it needs to be indented 1 time. if it is in the for loop, it needs to be indented 2 times to look like this

while True: 
  pwd = ''
  for i in range(pwd_length):
    pwd += ''.join(secrets.choice(alphaebet))

    if (any(char in special_chars for char in pwd) and 
       sum(char in digits for char in pwd)>=2): 
         break 
         print(pwd)
