Multi-Password Generation

jocxfin commented 6 months ago

Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem? Please Describe.

Yes, currently the application generates a single password or passphrase at a time. I'm always frustrated when I need multiple passwords for different accounts and have to repeatedly use the generator.

Description

The feature would enhance the application by allowing the generation of multiple passwords/passphrases at once, according to the specified rules. Each generated password/passphrase would have a dedicated 'copy' button adjacent to it, facilitating easy copying.

User Story

As a user who frequently sets up multiple accounts or changes passwords regularly, I want to generate several passwords/passphrases at once, each adhering to my specified security criteria, so that I can quickly and efficiently secure my accounts without having to generate and copy them one by one.

Acceptance Criteria

Criterion 1: Users can specify the number of passwords/passphrases to generate within the application's interface.
Criterion 2: Each password/passphrase is displayed in a list, with each item having a 'copy password' button.
Criterion 3: Clicking the 'copy password' button for any list item copies that specific password/passphrase to the clipboard.

Implementation Notes

This feature may require modifications to both the frontend for displaying multiple passwords and the backend for generating them.
Consideration should be given to maintaining a clean, user-friendly interface despite the addition of new elements.

Potential Challenges

Ensuring the UI remains intuitive and not cluttered, despite the addition of multiple passwords and copy buttons.
Maintaining performance, especially when generating a large number of passwords/passphrases.

Priority

Medium - This feature significantly enhances usability for users needing multiple passwords, balancing the need for security with convenience.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this clean on the UI side, be my guest and throw ideas this way!

This is the current version im working on. Needs to improve async funcs as the current implementation takes 23ms without HIBP-api check and over 2 seconds with it with multiple passwords(110ms with only one so there's some bug somewhere).
