HiddenPasswords

HiddenPasswords is a Python script that allows you to securely accept passwords from users and hide them with a desired character on the terminal. This can be particularly useful for maintaining password confidentiality during user input.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to use the HiddenPasswords script in your project:

1. Download or clone this repository and extract it into your project folder.

2. Import the GetPassWord function from the Pass_Getter module in your Python script.

from Pass_Getter import GetPassWord

Example Usage

Here's an example of how to use the GetPassWord function to securely accept a password from a user:

username = input("Enter your username: ")
password = GetPassWord(prompt="Enter password: ", hidden="*")

if username == "Git" and password == "Hub":
    print("Authorization Successful")
else:
    print("Error: Incorrect username or password")

In this example, the GetPassWord function is used to get a password from the user while displaying asterisks (*) on the screen for each character entered. If the entered username and password match the predefined values ("Git" and "Hub" in this case), the script prints "Authorization Successful"; otherwise, it prints "Error."

Function Parameters

The GetPassWord function takes two optional parameters:

• prompt (default: "Enter your password:"): You can specify a custom prompt to be displayed to the user when entering the password.

• hidden (default: "*"): You can choose a custom character to display on the screen instead of the password characters for added security.

Compatibility

This script is designed for use on Windows operating systems due to its use of the msvcrt library, which is specific to Windows. It provides a basic method for securely accepting passwords from users on Windows platforms.
