Generate a password

Question

It is very hard to remember my password, so I came up with a way to generate a password.

The way I generate my password is from a word or a sentence, following these steps:

1. Start from left to right

2. Find the count of each letter

3. Put letter with its count in an order

   • Letters with higher repetition will be in the end

   • Letters with the same repetition will be ordered alphabetically

4. Numbers and special letters will be ignored including whitespace (e.g. 9, 4, @, (, *, etc. are ignored)

5. Group letters ignoring case. In the output, use the case of the last occurrence in the input

6. The count of the letter can be any number e.g. 5H17M345K
7. If input is all numbers or special letters then output will be empty string e.g. Input "12$*34^!" then output ""
8. when order for the same occurrence alphabetically case does not matter e.g. 1a1B1c

Example:

Input: Kitkat Tango
(2k / 1i / 3T / 2a / 1n / 1g / 1o)
Output: 1g1i1n1o2a2k3T

Another example:

Input: Database Partitions Task
(1D / 5a / 4T / 1b / 3s / 1e / 1P / 1r / 2i / 1o / 1n / 3s / 1k)
Output: 1b1D1e1k1n1o1P1r2i3s4T5a

Note: the letters with 1 repeat are in the beginning ordered alphabetically then the letters with more reps

This is code-golf, the shortest code wins.

-2 bytes thanks to @Neil and @Shaggy together.

Try it online or verify all test cases.

Explanation:

Remove everything except for upper- and lowercase letters:
i.e. Kitkat Tango 123! → KitkatTango

\P{L}

Sort the individual letters case-insensitive (thanks to @MartinEnder for this):
i.e. KitkatTango → aagiKknottT

O$`.
$l$0

Capture every chunk of case-insensitive repeated adjacent letters:
i.e. aagiKknottT → [aa,g,i,Kk,n,o,ttT]

ir`\1*(.)

Prepend the length of every match, and only keep the last letter of every chunk:
i.e. [aa,g,i,Kk,n,o,ttT] → 2a1g1i2k1n1o3T

$.0$1

Sort the numbers and letter groups based on the numbers:
2a1g1i2k1n1o3T → 1g1i1n1o2a2k3T

N`\d+.

                       (r=Reverse)           Reverse each {letter, freq} to {freq,letter}.
                                             Then the standard Wolfram order function sorts
                                               lower frequencies first, with ties broken by
                                               by letters earlier in the alphabet,
                  Sort[                  ]     exactly what we want.

    Map@ToString/@                           @ has higher precedence than /@, so
                                               this effectively does Map[Map[ToString]].

• parseInt(numberAsString, radix) will try to parse integer in the beginning of string. For example, parseInt('120px', 10) will output 120. When parsing failed, it returns NaN instead. We connect an '0' to the beginning of each character so it will return 0 for any non numeric-alpha characters. And we can sort same letters together and non-alpha character to the beginning by this algorithm.
• After sort and join, "Hello world!123" would become " !123deHllloorw". An matching against /([a-z])\1*/ig will ignore any non-alpha character and split the string into chunks with same letters. `.
• map convert "aaa" to "3a" as required in the question.
• The second sort use same function as the first one. Thanks to the number system, "3b" would be less than "12a" in base 36 just as we expect: It compare counts first (n div 36), and compare the letter later (n mod 36).
• Finally join them together.

Javascript (ES8) (Firefox or Chrome), 294 bytes, -1 byte thank to @tsh

With new .flat method, I can save 10 bytes:

(x,l={},g=p=>p.charCodeAt(),q=p=>p.toLowerCase())=>Object.entries([...x[R='replace'](/[^a-z]/gi,'')].reduce((m,n)=>(r=q(n),l[r]=g(n)>96?1:0,{...m,[r]:-~m[r]}),{})).sort((a,b)=>a[1]^b[1]?a[1]-b[1]:g(q(a[0]))-g(q(b[0]))).map(([m,n])=>[n,m]).flat().join``[R](/[a-z]/g,v=>l[v]?q(v):v.toUpperCase())

Julia 1.0, 158 bytes

¬t=(c=Dict();C=Dict();for i=eachmatch(r"\w",t);l=i.match;k=lowercase(l);c[k]=get(c,k,0)+1;C[k]=l;end;*(["$v$(C[k])" for (v,k)=sort([(v,k) for (k,v)=c])]...))

Original ungolfed version with same logic:

function password(text)
    letter_counts = Dict()
    cases = Dict()

    for i in eachmatch(r"\w", text)
        letter = i.match[1]
        letter_key = lowercase(letter)
        letter_counts[letter_key] = get(letter_counts, letter_key, 0) + 1
        cases[letter_key] = letter
    end

    sorted_counts = sort([(value, key) for (key, value) in letter_counts])

    return string(["$v$(cases[k])" for (v,k) in sorted_counts]...)
end

f: func[s][l: charset[#"a"- #"z"#"A"- #"Z"]rejoin sort/skip collect[parse sort s[any[copy t[copy o l any o](keep length? t keep last t)| skip]]]2]

Try it online!

Ungolfed:

f: func [s] [
    l: charset[#"a" - #"z" #"A" - #"Z"]
    rejoin sort/skip collect [
        parse sort s [
            any [
                copy t [copy o l any o] (keep length? t keep last t)
                | skip
            ] 
        ]
    ] 2
]

Example usage in Rebol console:

>> f "Kitkat Tango"
== "1g1i1n1o2a2k3T"

>> f "Database Partitions Task"
== "1b1D1e1k1n1o1P1r2i3s4T5a"

>> f "12$*34^!"
== ""
