create a password with at least one lowercase letter in ruby

To create a password with at least one lowercase letter in Ruby, we can use the SecureRandom module to generate a random password string and then add a lowercase letter to it using string manipulation. Here's an example code snippet:

main.rb
require 'securerandom'

def generate_password
  password = SecureRandom.alphanumeric(10) # generate a 10-character random password
  unless /[a-z]/.match?(password) # check if the password contains at least one lowercase letter
    password[rand(password.length)] = ('a'..'z').to_a[rand(26)] # add a random lowercase letter to the password
  end
  return password
end
368 chars
10 lines

In this code, we first generate a 10-character random password using the SecureRandom module's alphanumeric method. We then use a regular expression to check if the password contains at least one lowercase letter. If it doesn't, we use string manipulation to randomly replace one of the characters in the password with a random lowercase letter from the alphabet.

We can call this method to generate a new password:

main.rb
password = generate_password
puts password
43 chars
3 lines

This will output a randomly generated password with at least one lowercase letter.
