TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not tuple. Error

Question

I am a beginner in programing and I am trying to assign multiple values to the "contains" variable but I keep getting: "TypeError: 'in ' requires string as left operand, not tuple." Can anybody tell me what this means and how to solve it? Here is the program (tkinter):

def myClick():
password = e.get()
contains = "1", "2"

if contains in password:
    myLabel = Label(root, text= "Password Level is Strong")
    myLabel.pack()

You can use if any(x in password for x in matches): where matches is ['1','2'] — user15801675

@lucal No problem. I thought that you were looking for something like what @ Sujay said so I deleted my comment :D. — TheLizzard

Python is giving you this message because you are trying to compare tuple with string but you need to compare string with tuple.. for example with your code:

if password in contains:
    myLabel = Label(root, text= "Password Level is Strong")
    myLabel.pack()

and i advice you to use 'for loop' if you want to work with tuples or lists..
