Passwordsy

RETIRED REPOSITORY

A program that can generate a secure password of up to 100 characters, extract securely selected words from the diceware wordlist, generate a password from a sentence, and check for vulnerabilities in a given password.

Known limitations

Avoid using a keyboard layout that types diacritics through a shortcut (such as the Romanian Programmers, where ș is ALT + S, and ț is ALT + T). The diacritic might turn into its non-diacritic counterpart (Ț into T) or into a question mark. I recommend using a keyboard layout that types diacritics directly (such as the Romanian Standard, where ; types ș and ' types ț).

Getting started

To use Passwordsy, you must get the program itself on your machine. To do this, you have 3 choices: cloning it through Git, opening it with GitHub Desktop, or downloading it as a ZIP. The following tutorial describes installing Passwordsy by cloning the repository with Git.

Prerequisites

  • Git from git-scm.com
  • Python from python.org (make sure to tick 'Add Python to PATH' during the installation process)
  • The following modules: PIL, Clipboard, Pynput, CustomTkinter. They are found in the requirements.txt file.

Installation

  • Open Git Bash
  • Use cd (change directory) to move to the location you want the repository to be cloned in. For example, if you want the repository to be cloned in the 'projects' folder on Desktop, type 'cd Desktop/projects/' in the terminal.
  • Once you are in the desired folder, type 'git clone https://github.com/IceTheDev2/Passwordsy.git'.
  • Type 'cd Passwordsy' and then 'pip install -r requirements.txt' to move into the main directory of the repository and to install all the required dependencies.
  • Type 'cd code' to the navigate to the file containing main.py.
  • Type 'python main.py' to run the program

Usage

Generate 4 secure strings of 4 to 100 characters, with custom character sets
