Answer 1

def enterNewPassword():

    while True:

   

        # get user input

        password = input('Enter password : ')

       

        # if the length is not in range 8 - 15

        if len(password) < 8 or len(password) > 15:

       

            print('Error! Password is not in range 8-15')

           

        digit_count = 0

       

        arr = [ '1' , '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0' ]

       

        # traverse the string and count the number of digits

        for ch in password:

       

            # if current character is digit

            if ch in arr:

           

                digit_count += 1

               

        # if there is not digit

        if digit_count < 1:

       

            print('Error! There must be atleast 1 digit')

            

        # if password is correct

        if len(password) >= 8 and len(password) <= 15 and digit_count >= 1:

       

            print('Correct password')

            return

           

        print()

       

enterNewPassword()
