🎲 Python’s random vs secrets — What’s the real difference?

If you're learning Python, both modules look like they do the same thing: generate random values.

But here's the catch 👇

🔹 random
– Fast & simple
– Perfect for games, simulations, dice rolls, shuffling cards
– ❌ Not secure for sensitive data

🔹 secrets
– Designed for cryptographic use
– Best for tokens, passwords, secure keys
– ✅ Unpredictable & security-safe

💡 Rule of thumb:
→ Use random for fun & logic-based randomness
→ Use secrets for security & real-world protection

Knowing the difference isn’t just smart — it’s secure 🔐
