About the challenge

• You only need to import the working class use it for making your own password manager app(GUI apps only).
• Make this app, upload on GitHub and tag us on our social and we will review your code and give you a shoutout.
• Keep the link of the repo in the post and tag us on the social media.
• You have total freedom to develop the app of your design. Just do not be abusive because we cannot show such content on our channel. Be PG13.
• You can see our password manager app made with PyQt5 using the tutorial link
• For knowing more on how this backend is made, you can follow our Simple Password Manager tutorial
• PyQt5 documentation
• PyQt5 tutorial
• We have used PyQt5 for the tutorial because it is the most popular Python GUI framework. You are however free to use GUI framework of your choice. Just a suggestion that Tkinter will not be good because this will be a big project.

Code Examples to work with the backend module.

• Installing the module

    pip install simplepasswordmanagerbackend
  

• Use pip3 if the name of pip is given that way.

• Importing the setup function

    from SimplePasswordManagerBackend import setupDatabase
  

• Setting up the database with primary password

    setupDatabase(primaryPassword) 
  

• Importing the working class

    from SimplePasswordManagerBackend import Working
  

• Making the working object

    working = Working(primaryPassword)
  

• It will encrypt the password and check if it is ok or not.

• Checking if password entered was correct or not

    if working.loginStatus:
        # Login succesful. Password was right.
    else:
        # Password was wrong. Login not succesful.
  

• Changing primary password of the database

    working.changePrimaryPassword(oldPassword, newPassword)
  

• Getting an entry from database

    working.getEntry(email, website)
  

• This will return the password in string format.

• Putting an entry from the database

    working.putEntry(email, website, password)
  

• This method will return a boolean based on entry is done in the database.

• Updating an entry

    working.updateEntry(oldEmail, oldWebsite, email, website, password)
  

• Returns nothing. Just updates the database.

• To see the entries present in the database.

    working.seeEntries()
  

• This returns entries in list of (email, password).

• Will return all the tuples of email and website present in the database.
