Ever wondered if you could guess a password? Or if those randomly generated passwords are actually secure? Well, look no further than Passy. Enjoy destroying your computer by trying to guess a password in tons of different ways.
There are two ways to install Passy: run the pre-compiled binary .exe file (Windows) or run it from source (Linux, MacOS). Currently, the pre-compiled binary is not available for MacOS and Linux (sorry 😦, just give me a bit more time).
For most, the first option will sufice. To get the .exe file, go to the Releases tab on the side of this web page, and click on the latest release. Then, scroll down to the Assests section and click on the Windows zip file option. This will download a zip file containing the passy.exe file. Once you extract the folder, you will find the passy.exe file.
.exe file, or move the .exe file out of the folder it was in.
Please ensure you have Python installed on your machine before proceeding.
To run from source, click the green Code button on the top of the webpage and then click on the Download Zip button. This will download a zip file containing the source code. Once the zip file is downloaded, extract it and open a terminal inside the folder. From the terminal run (without the $):
$ python main.pyNo, this is not the case. If your antivirus is detecting Passy as a virus, you can safely ignore the message.

Still think Passy is a virus? Check the source code above for yourself!
