Inspiration
In light of the recent data breach that happened at UC San Diego, our team wanted to help protect the internet safety and security our our peers and colleagues. One way we thought we could help was to create a way to help strengthen a user's passwords, while creating ways that they would be able to remember the password.
What it does
The app gives the user to generate a strong password of 10 characters, and has the option to email the result to themselves. The app also lets the user test their own passwords to see how strong they are, and gives them suggestions on how to strengthen it based on their password.
How we built it
We built this app from scratch with vanilla JS, css, and html. We wanted to make a simple, zen UI. We used GitHub as a way to collaborate on the project and launch the web application
Challenges we ran into
We had some trouble with some of the css elements, especially when it came to resizing, as well as collaborating remotely.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were proud of being able to finish a project like this in a very small time frame that accomplished what we set out to do.
What we learned
We learned a great deal of javascript as well as the importance of pair programming.
What's next for Passcurity
We want to turn Passcurity into an IOS app, by converting our web app into the spring language. We also want to be able to directly send an encrypted email containing the password.
