Password Practice Tool

This tool helps users securely practice typing infrequently used passwords. It allows someone to remember important passwords that they may not use very often, in an easy-to-read and secure manner.

Installation

1. Install Go if you haven't already.
2. Install the required dependencies:

go get -u github.com/howeyc/gopass
go get -u golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt

3. Compile the program:

go build -o password-practice

Usage

Adding a password

To add a new password to the config file:

./password-practice -add

You will be prompted to enter the account name and the password you'd like to store. The password will be securely hashed before storing it in the config file.

Practicing passwords

To practice typing passwords:

./password-practice

The program will loop through each account in the config file and prompt you to enter the correct password. If the entered password is correct, the tool will proceed to the next account. If the entered password is incorrect, it will prompt you again to re-enter the password.

Configuration

By default, the tool uses a config file named config.json. If you want to use a different file, you can provide the -config flag with the desired file path:

./password-practice -config myconfig.json

This flag works with both adding and practicing passwords.

Security

The tool uses the bcrypt password hashing algorithm to securely store passwords in the config file. Passwords are never stored in plaintext.

When entering passwords, the tool uses the gopass library to read input without echoing it on the screen.

Disclaimer

Please note that the security of your passwords depends on the security of the machine where the config file is stored. It is your responsibility to ensure the config file is not accessible by unauthorized parties.
