Assignment 11: New Password (10 pts)

  • In this assignment, you will write a short program to allow a user to create a new password, and then login with this password.
  • You will need to use both if-else and for loops.
  • The program will begin by prompting the user to enter a new password. The program will then ask the user to confirm the password.
  • From there, one of several possible scenarios will occur.
     1. The second password the user types does not match the first:
    • In this case, allow the user one more try by asking them to confirm the password again
Enter your new password: abc123
Enter your new password again: abc124

Sorry! Those passwords don't match.
Please try again

Enter your new password again: abc123

Password confirmed. Logging out...
    • Should the user type the password incorrectly twice, the program should exit.  
Enter your new password: abc123
Enter your new password again: abc124

Sorry! Those passwords don't match.
Please try again

Enter your new password again: abc124
Sorry! Those passwords don't match.

Goodbye!

    2. The second password matches the first (either on the first or second attempt):
  • In this case, log the user out, and then ask the user to login using their new password
Enter your new password: abc123
Enter your new password again: abc123

Password confirmed. Logging out...

Enter your password:
  • Give the user exactly 5 tries to type in their new password correctly (use a for loop) - reporting the number of tries remaining, for each attempt:
  • Should the user type the password correctly within the 5 tries, log the user in
Password confirmed. Logging out...

Enter your password: abc124
Invalid password. You have 5 more tries.

Enter your password: abc125
Invalid password. You have 4 more tries.

Enter your password: abc123

Welcome! You are now logged in.
  • Otherwise, should the user not type the password correctly within 5 tries, exit the program.
Password confirmed. Logging out...

Enter your password: ab
Invalid password. You have 4 more tries.

Enter your password: abc
Invalid password. You have 3 more tries.

Enter your password: ab3
Invalid password. You have 2 more tries.

Enter your password: abc1
Invalid password. You have 1 more tries.

Enter your password: abc12
Invalid password. You have 0 more tries.

Goodbye!
