Description

Welcome to the project breakdown! In this video, we built a custom password generator using the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL*, PHP) with a focus on simplicity, customization, and usability.

✅ What We Built

A fully functional password generator with these features:

• Customizable password length (from 4 up to 2048 characters!)

• Options to include:

  • ✅ Uppercase letters

  • ✅ Lowercase letters

  • ✅ Numbers

  • ✅ Symbols

  • ✅ Accented characters (like é, ç, ñ, ü)

• Generated password appears on the same page.

• Password is displayed in a textarea to support long values.

• A “Copy to Clipboard” button makes it easy to grab your password.

• The form remembers your last settings after submission.

🧠 Tech Stack Used

• PHP: Handles form submission and password generation logic.

• HTML: Builds the form and UI.

• CSS: Basic styling placed in /css/style.css.

• JavaScript: Adds copy-to-clipboard functionality.

🔧 Features & Improvements

• Secure random_int() used for character selection.

• Clean UI with form validation and error handling.

• Lightweight and fully local — no database needed.

• Optimized for future expansion (password strength, save history, etc.)
