Release notes
App-wide
GUI
- Overhauled the interface, adding light and dark modes that are automatically adjusted based on the system settings.
- Replaced most fonts with Roboto.
- Replaced password fonts with Consolas.
- Button textures replaced with CustomTkinter designs.
Performance
- Reduced resizing lag.
Diceware
Additions
- Added a new method for generating passwords, diceware, that can be accessed by clicking 'Try other methods...' > 'From the diceware wordlist'.
- Click the 'ROLL DICE' button to metaphorically roll 5 dice to get a 5-digit number that will be matched with a word within the diceware wordlist from the Diceware-Password-Generator repository
- Diceware passwords can be hidden.
- Diceware passwords can be copied through a copy menu that pops up when you right-click on one of them.
- They can also be copied by ticking the checkbox next to them and clicking 'Copy selections'.
- The window can be cleared through the 'Clear' button at the top.
- If the passwords are hidden (the bottom button says 'PASSWORDS ARE: HIDDEN'), subsequently generated passwords will also be hidden.
- Once 35 passwords have been generated, a message box will pop up, informing you about the limit of dice rolls and asking if you want to clear the screen.
Sentence input
Additions
- Added a new method for generating passwords, from a sentence, that can be accessed by clicking 'Try other methods...' > 'From a sentence'.
- Input a sentence you can remember and get a password containing each first letter of every word, as well as any digits and punctuation.
- One label will highlight the characters used in the final password with red.
- Both labels can be copied through the same copy menu for password generation and diceware.
- Tips on how to improve the outputted password will also be shown, based on a similar algorithm to the one used to check passwords' strengths.
Password-generation
Additions
- Added a pop-up message box that is shown when the user enters an invalid input or doesn't select any character set, replacing the old method of showing the error in the first password label.
- Added a 'Try other methods...' button that leads to a top-level window, presenting the user with two options for unique password generation: generating a password from the diceware wordlist or a sentence.
- Added a question mark within the other methods window that shows a tooltip when the user hovers over it containing basic information about diceware and a button linking to the Wikipedia page (used code from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3221956/how-do-i-display-tooltips-in-tkinter)
- Added buttons to show/hide passwords and to copy them if they are hidden.
- Added a slider to show/hide all passwords at once.
Changes
- The copy menu no longer appears when the user right-clicks on an empty password label.
Password strength
- Removed dynamic update of the input box's width.
README.md
Changes
- The word 'started' in 'Getting started' is now spelt with a lowercase 's' instead of uppercase.
- Simplified and updated the installation tutorial. It is now recommended to tick 'Add python to PATH' when installing as opposed to adding it manually through GitBash later. The necessary modules are pillow, customtkinter, clipboard, pynput.
- Updated acknowledgements (added u/creedxender for suggesting a 'Secret string of letters, numbers, and/or symbols', u/infra_d3ad for suggesting using diceware, u/modernknight87 for suggesting 'The user input a sentence of their own choosing, takes the first letter of every word, and any numbers or symbols, and combines those as the produced password' etc.
Bug fixes
- Break added between contact links.
