in #utopian-io6 years ago (edited)

Few days ago, I shared my experience I had with Diceware password generator -A Project That Allows You Create Long, Strong, Memorable Passwords.

Diceware password generator: An Android application that automatically generates a strong a memorable passphrase using the Diceware method.

Repository

Components

  • Password generating page (more features needed)
  • Password saved page ( currently not existing)

Proposal Description

The aim of this project is to assist users create strong, entropy and easy to remember passwords. Truth be told, some people don't see some entropy passwords to be easy to remember passwords.

The above reason had led me to this suggestions.

  • Ability to internally save generated passwords.
    • Option to give tags to passwords while saving.
  • Option to automatically covert saved passwords to a .txt file for easy export.

Ability to internally save generated passwords.

To improve the functionality of the app, providing the ability to save passwords is needed. What's the essence of generating passwords, copying to clipboard, then boom!!! The user mistakenly copies something else and then password is lost?
What if a save button is added ?
If this is implemented, users can save generated passwords to the app and at the same time use the copy option. Then if the password is misplaced, the user can always come back to the app to copy it.

  • Option to give tags to passwords while saving.

If the above option is implemented, this feature should be added as well. Let us assume a user had already generated and saved many passwords. But the user needs to locate a particular password. How can this be done ?

The best solution to that, is by allowing users give a tag/name to a password while saving it. If this option is available and the user needs to locate an old password. Then the tag/name given to that particular password should be typed from a search space.

Option to automatically covert saved passwords to a .txt file for easy export.

I am still making points about how this great application could save a user's life.
Loosing password to your account where your funds are, can be depressing.

It'd be really great if there's an option to covert saved password(s) into a text file for easy exporting from diceware password generator to an online storage or any preferred location.

Mockups / Examples

Ability to internally save generated passwords

From the screenshot below, I added two buttons and they are:

  • Save
  • Saved Passwords

The save option will save the newly generated password. While the Saved passwords option will open the list of saved passwords.

Option to give tags to passwords while saving.

This option should display immediately clicking on save option from my initial Mockup.

This is where the user give a name to password before it is saved.

.txt Converter option

This page will only display when the user clicks on Saved Passwords from my first Mockup.
From this page, user can copy, delete or convert to a .txt file once a saved password is selected.

Benefits

These features will help users from not loosing their passwords to their accounts.
Also, If these features are implemented, it will increase the number of app usage. Since there would be special future when it's compared to other similar applications.
