Inspiration
PasswordManagerCrypt Misnomer — doesn't encrypt anything. I've always wondered what would happen if someone were to access a password manager. One way I think to deter someone is to have fake information within the manager.
What it does
This app generates passwords and stores fake password information.
How we built it
Java with Android Studio.
Challenges we ran into
I didn't know how to save preference information on android (usually used for saving sensitive in-app data). Preference information is set once so the default master pass is locked. Also the layout of the app looks pretty horrendous.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is pretty much my first actual android app — so the fact that it works is great.
What we learned
I learned a lot of the basics: the layout system on an android app, and how the activity logic interacts with different buttons and text input. I also (re)learned that I don't know anything about android development.
What's next for PMCrypt
In the future, I might look into how to actually get preference information to work so this app can hold sensitive information properly. I want to have workable tests. I also will have to make the UI less horrible, but, one step at a time.
