This is a password generator application built using Next.js. It allows users to create strong, random passwords based on customizable criteria.

Features

Customizable Length: Users can specify the desired length of the password.
Character Set Selection: Users can choose to include or exclude:
- Uppercase Letters (A-Z)
- Lowercase Letters (a-z)
- Numbers (0-9)
- Symbols (!@#$%^&* etc.)
Copy to Clipboard: A convenient button to copy the generated password directly to the clipboard.
Responsive Design: The application is responsive and works correctly on various devices (desktops, tablets, mobile phones).

Technologies

React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces. The core of the password generator's interactive components.
Tailwind CSS: (Optional, but recommended) A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly styling the application with pre-defined classes. This makes the design process much faster. If you aren't using Tailwind, remove this and describe your styling approach (e.g., CSS Modules, styled-components).
JavaScript: The core logic for generating random passwords based on user selections.
Vercel: (Optional) A cloud platform for deploying Next.js applications easily. Remove if you are deploying elsewhere (e.g., Netlify, GitHub Pages).

Getting Started

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/Aryankanojia9654/random-password-generator.git  # Replace with your actual repo URL!
cd random-password-generator      # Replace with your project's directory name

Install Dependencies:

npm install
# OR
yarn install
# OR
pnpm install

Run the Development Server:
```
npm run dev
# OR
yarn dev
# OR
pnpm dev
```

This will start the development server, typically at http://localhost:3000. Open this URL in your browser to see the application.

Deployment

The easiest way to deploy this Next.js application is to use Vercel:

Create a Vercel Account: If you don't have one, sign up at vercel.com.
Connect to GitHub (or GitLab/Bitbucket): Connect your Vercel account to the Git provider where your project is hosted.
Import Project: Import your password generator project from your Git repository.
Configure Project Settings: Vercel usually auto-detects the necessary settings for a Next.js project. You might need to specify the build command (npm run build) and output directory (out or public, depending on your next.config.js).
Deploy: Click the "Deploy" button. Vercel will build and deploy your application, providing you with a live URL.

Alternatively, you can use other platforms like Netlify or deploy manually to a server.

Conclusion

This password generator project demonstrates how to build a practical and user-friendly application using Next.js. It showcases how to handle user input, perform calculations (password generation), and provide a responsive and accessible user interface. The use of Next.js allows for potential future expansion, such as adding user accounts or saving password generation preferences. It's a good example of a simple but useful web application.
