Why isnt the append() working in this block of code?

I've broken down the pieces of this code individually and it all works fine. Yet the append() method only appends once and then refuses to add anything else. I am absolutely losing my mind over this.

x = input("Input Password: ")

epicfail = []

def numberchecker(b):
    return any(i.isdigit() for i in b)

def spacechecker(c):
    return any(o.isspace() for o in c)

def passwordvalidator(a):
    if len(a) < 12:
        epicfail.append("Your password is too short!")
    elif a.islower() == True:
        epicfail.append("Your password contains zero uppercase letters!")
    elif a.isupper() == True:
        epicfail.append("Your password contains zero lowercase letters!")
    elif numberchecker(x) == False:
        epicfail.append("Your password contains zero numbers!")
    elif spacechecker(x) == True:
        epicfail.append("Your password contains a whitespace!")
    return epicfail

print(passwordvalidator(x))

I expect the append() method to append to the epicfail list every time it is activated. Yet is only appends once. I have tried breaking down every piece of the code individually and it all works fine.

As you use elif, when one condition is met, all the others are ignored. If you want multiple to trigger, just use if instead.

Furthermore, you can remove "== True" when you are checking a boolean, and replace "if xxx == False:" by "if not xxx:".
