PasswordManager

A GUI with the ability to generate passwords for you and store them in a file for you.

Description

The following app is very straight forward. You simply run the code, which will in turn, launch a GUI.

There are several fields for you to fill in: Firstly, Website (Fig1), which is meant to make it so the website for which you are storing information is stored as such, but also to make that data accessible if you want to search for it (Fig 2) (which you can do by only filling in the website in the Website text box and pressing search, which will makethe credentials for that website pop up in a prompt window).

Figure 2. Search button boxed in red.

Secondly, you fill in your desired username in the Email/Username box (exemplified by Fig 3, below).

Then, you fill in your desired password (Fig 4, below), OR, if you would like a STRONG password generated for you, you can press the "Generate Password" button (exemplified by Fig. 5, below).

After you have filled in all the necessary text fields, you can press add (exemplified by Figure 6) to store that information to a database (which will be named 'passwords.txt').

In this way, your passwords will be securely stored, so long as you dont have a hacker actively controlling you computer or having access to your files.

If you did not fill in all of the text fields, however, you will get an error prompt window, telling you that you need to fill in all of the fields in order to successfully save your data. Such a case may be denoted by Figure 7, below.

Usage

You can freely access this app so long as you have a version of python 3 (this was made in python 3.9.1), the tkinter module, the random module, the json module, and the images from the images folder of the presenr repository. With those, you should simply be able to run the code and have a visually-appeasing timer to hold you accountable for/encourage your productivity.

Contributing / Support

If you would like to create a PULL request, please feel free. Whether the intent be to pilfer from the code as you like some elements of the app, or to suggest improvements, you are most welcome to. If the changes are to be major, however, please open an issue first so we can discuss if/what you would like to change. Should you have a problem in doing so, please feel free to let me know (my email is on my website so please find it there in case it has changed since writing this).
