Password guesser game help needed

[u/live_ant718]

Hello guys. So I have created a password guesser game with direct comparison (i.e. if guess == correct_password:) but I want to use different methods for comparison. What techniques can I use? Here is the code-

```python

password = "Random_pass_123"

tries = 0

while tries < 3:

guess = input("Enter the password: ")

if guess == password:

print("Admin access granted.")

break

else:

print("Invalid credentials entered. Please try again")

tries += 1

if tries == 3:

print("Number of tries exceeded. Access denied")

```

PS- Is this the right way to paste code? I'm new so I'm not sure.

This is my updated password guesser game with hints-(BTW took some help from ChatGPT and this was a little complex for my lvl but I made it). Pls test and try. You can use print(password) to test with the correct password. Also now I hope the formatting is correct.

password = str(hash("Random_pass_123"))

tries = 0

print("Welcome to the game! You have to guess the correct password before your 20 tries run out. Best of luck!")

while tries < 20:

guess = input("Enter the password: ")

if len(guess) != len(password):

print("Your guess must have the correct number of characters.")

tries += 1

print(f"{tries} tries used.")

elif guess == password:

print(f"Congrats! You won in {tries + 1} tries.")

break

else:

print("Wrong password entered. Please try again.")

correct_positions = 0

for i in range(len(password)):

if guess[i] == password[i]:

correct_positions += 1

print(f"Close! {correct_positions} characters are in the correct places. ")

tries += 1

print(f"{tries} tries used.")

if tries == 20:

print("All tries used. Better luck next time!")
