--description--

Inside the for loop, call the findall() function passing pattern and password as the arguments.

--hints--

You should call re.findall() passing pattern and password as the arguments.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /^(\s*)for.+:\s*^\1\s{4}re\.findall\s*\(\s*pattern\s*,\s*password\s*\)/m) })

    # Define the possible characters for the password
    letters = string.ascii_letters
    digits = string.digits
    symbols = string.punctuation

    # Combine all characters
    all_characters = letters + digits + symbols

    while True:
        password = ''
        # Generate password
        for _ in range(length):
            password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
       
        constraints = [
            (nums, r'\d'),
