Instructions:

The goal of this project is to create a GUI program that generates random passwords for the user. The program should consist of the following JavaFX components:

1 Button to create a password

3 RadioButtons to allow the user to select only one size for the password in characters

(8, 16, 32). By default 8 should be selected

3 CheckBoxes to allow the user to select a level of complexity for the password ("Use Caps", "Use Special Characters", "Use Numbers"). By default the password would consist only of lowercase letters

1 TextField to display the created password

The look of the application is up to you. You goal should be along the lines of functional and ergonomic.

When the create password button is clicked by the user the program should generate a password of random characters with a length equal to the value chosen by the radio buttons. The password should consist only of lower case characters (a-z) unless the user has checked any of the various checkboxes to make the password more complex by including capital letters, numbers, or special characters: $!@#$%&

The code to generate the password should run as a JavaFX Task in its own thread.
