This function creates a randomised password by selecting characters from predefined pools of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special symbols. It ensures the password includes at least one character from each category, enhancing its complexity. The password’s length is flexible, and users can adjust it by modifying the number of random selections. The process involves generating a base string of random characters, strategically inserting characters from specific groups (uppercase, lowercase, special), and ensuring distribution across the password. The result is a secure, diverse password suitable for protecting sensitive data.
