secrets in Python (and why random is not so random)

Video Description

In this video, learn about the pretty new and interesting "secrets" module in Python Standard Library. Code: https://gist.github.com/nikhilkumarsingh/6d4b5ae222df2e5a4ae8c45192bb5c67 The secrets module is used for generating cryptographically strong random numbers suitable for managing data such as passwords, account authentication, security tokens, and related secrets. Also learn why we must not use random module for generating random numbers for cryptographic purposes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Explore my tutorials: https://nikhilkumarsingh.github.io/tutorials/ More awesome topics covered here: WhatsApp Bot using Twilio and Python : https://tinyurl.com/y9n9ott5 Serverless Rest API using AWS and Python : https://tinyurl.com/y8yg4vem Creating Chat Application using Flask, Socket.IO & mongoDB : https://tinyurl.com/y8kbn4xu Curses in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y8ws3x4l Discovering Hidden APIs : https://tinyurl.com/y7sdegoq RegEx in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y84cnuns Python for Data Science : https://tinyurl.com/yd7x6j5e Introduction to Pandas : https://tinyurl.com/ycr4qytt Introduction to Matplotlib : https://tinyurl.com/y8caem3r Introduction to Numpy : https://tinyurl.com/yc8uhtn9 Functional Programming in Python : https://tinyurl.com/ybubzum6 Python Package Publishing : https://tinyurl.com/ya2fn3wb Multithreading in Python : https://tinyurl.com/ycnummb8 Multiprocessing in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y8qkjqtx Parallel Programming in Python : https://tinyurl.com/yakl5udt Concurrent Programming in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y9ppkkhc Dataclasses in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y8zfqleq Exploring YouTube Data API : https://tinyurl.com/y7jhs8rm Just For Fun : https://tinyurl.com/y9on8gb5 Exploring AWS : https://tinyurl.com/ydxmhhz9 Jupyter Notebook (Tips, Tricks and Hacks) : https://tinyurl.com/y8qdhcrp Decorators in Python : https://tinyurl.com/y7ghraa9 Inside Python : https://tinyurl.com/yd8xqbjj Exploring datetime : https://tinyurl.com/y96jzylm Collections in Python : https://tinyurl.com/ybxltgvk Networking : https://tinyurl.com/y97eroql Computer Vision for noobs : https://tinyurl.com/y8pxz436 Python for web : https://tinyurl.com/y829py3g Awesome Linux Terminal : https://tinyurl.com/y8no3zso Intermediate Python : https://tinyurl.com/yasmecaw Tips, tricks, hacks and APIs : https://tinyurl.com/y9xqzzl4 Optical Character Recognition : https://tinyurl.com/ybt3to6q Facebook Messenger Bot Tutorial : https://tinyurl.com/y9wvjc9g Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IndianPythonista Github: https://www.github.com/nikhilkumarsingh Twitter: https://twitter.com/nikhilksingh97 ------------------------------------------------------------ #python #secrets #explore
