Encrypt password #30

Closed AdirthaBorgohain closed 5 years ago

AdirthaBorgohain commented 5 years ago

At the current stage, the login is very unsecure. Anyone and everyone can open the password.txt file and see what is the password. I think encrypting the password.txt would provide a sense of security to the user? I can work on this if you like.

Good catch. How do you plan on implementing it?

AdirthaBorgohain commented 5 years ago

There's this python module called pycrypto which can make AES,DES encryption of files possible. What I plan to do is take the password as an user input for the first time and encrypt the password in a file. Then for subsequent runs, the password can be decrypted as and when needed through the module.

Should I start working on it?

ZER-0-NE commented 5 years ago

You are free to make another script for it. I would not like all the functionalities in the same script.

AdirthaBorgohain commented 5 years ago

Sure. I will be creating a separate script.
