how do I use it?

First, if you don't have it, install 'pip' (installation guide here) , it's required for this as it installs the required Python libraries.

Then, go in to your terminal and CD to this folder, then you need to type:

python3.9 -m pip install cryptography

And it should install the required library 'Cryptography'.

Next you want to run save-password.py using Python 3.9.

It should ask for a password lock, this is an extra step needed to decrypt your passwords. Then the name of the password, then Email/Username, then password.

It then encrypts the JSON and saves it to /passwords/(name).txt

Then to get the password, open get-password.py in Python 3.9 and enter the name of the password you saved. It displays it in your Terminal, and keeps it encrypted. It should look like this:

Name - GitHub (example)
User/Email - test@example.com
Password - password

editing password

Just open edit-password.py in Python 3.9 and type the name in, then enter your new username and password and it edits and encrypts!

deleting password

Open delete-password.py in Python 3.9 and type the file name in. It will display its decrypted contents just in case.
