  Encrypt and store new passwords for websites using a word and color of your choice!

Inspiration:

I saw a post on a subReddit of a funny password generator that added a color code to a password for additional encryption. I had been wanting to create my own password manager for a while and decided these two ideas could merge well together.

What it does:

Prompts the user for a website to generate a password for, a base word, and a color. This data is sent through a Restful API server where a python script handles the calculations and returns the password to the client. They get their password and it is stored in a file on the server for later fetching.

How we built it

Started by building a command line application with text-based input, then migrated core functionality to its own script and moved front-end to a C# form.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult getting the server to work, as neither of us had any experience with servers before.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completing a project in multiple languages was one of our goals at the beginning of the competition, and we're proud to say that we did just that!

What we learned

Improved our teamwork skills and our ability to explain our own code.

What's next for Colorized Password Manager

Better UI, more options in the back-end for customization by website. Possible browser plugin.
