What is it supposed to do if it knows your password already?
Also, it takes wayyy too long to try.
This repl, as I understand it, was created in order to use the password selection code if the password itself is unknown. But I can’t think of a single legal example of its use.
To speed up the selection of a password, I suggest that before sorting through random characters, sort through combinations of different words and numbers in ascending order.

@SnakeyKing if you haven’t already you can store a bunch of common passwords in a dictionary and make your code check those first before it brute forces the rest.
