Question

I have a python project that requires me to make a password saver. The major part of the code is already giving. I am having trouble executing option 2 and 3. Some guidance will be appreciated. Below is the code giving to me.

import csv
import sys

#The password list - We start with it populated for testing purposes
passwords = [["yahoo","XqffoZeo"],["google","CoIushujSetu"]]


#The password file name to store the passwords to
passwordFileName = "samplePasswordFile"

#The encryption key for the caesar cypher
encryptionKey=16

#Caesar Cypher Encryption
def passwordEncrypt (unencryptedMessage, key):

    #We will start with an empty string as our encryptedMessage
    encryptedMessage = ''

    #For each symbol in the unencryptedMessage we will add an encrypted symbol into the encryptedMessage
    for symbol in unencryptedMessage:
        if symbol.isalpha():
            num = ord(symbol)
            num += key

            if symbol.isupper():
                if num > ord('Z'):
                    num -= 26
                elif num < ord('A'):
                    num += 26
            elif symbol.islower():
                if num > ord('z'):
                    num -= 26
                elif num < ord('a'):
                    num += 26

            encryptedMessage += chr(num)
        else:
            encryptedMessage += symbol

    return encryptedMessage

def loadPasswordFile(fileName):

    with open(fileName, newline='') as csvfile:
        passwordreader = csv.reader(csvfile)
        passwordList = list(passwordreader)

    return passwordList

def savePasswordFile(passwordList, fileName):

    with open(fileName, 'w+', newline='') as csvfile:
        passwordwriter = csv.writer(csvfile)
        passwordwriter.writerows(passwordList)



while True:
    print("What would you like to do:")
    print(" 1. Open password file")
    print(" 2. Lookup a password")
    print(" 3. Add a password")
    print(" 4. Save password file")
    print(" 5. Print the encrypted password list (for testing)")
    print(" 6. Quit program")
    print("Please enter a number (1-4)")
    choice = input()

    if(choice == '1'): #Load the password list from a file
        passwords = loadPasswordFile(passwordFileName)

    if(choice == '2'): #Lookup at password
        print("Which website do you want to lookup the password for?")
        for keyvalue in passwords:
            print(keyvalue[0])
        passwordToLookup = input()

        ####### YOUR CODE HERE ######
        #You will need to find the password that matches the website
        #You will then need to decrypt the password

        #
        #1. Create a loop that goes through each item in the password list
        #  You can consult the reading on lists in Week 5 for ways to loop through a list
        #
        #2. Check if the name is found.  To index a list of lists you use 2 square backet sets
        #   So passwords[0][1] would mean for the first item in the list get it's 2nd item (remember, lists start at 0)
        #   So this would be 'XqffoZeo' in the password list given what is predefined at the top of the page.
        #   If you created a loop using the syntax described in step 1, then i is your 'iterator' in the list so you
        #   will want to use i in your first set of brackets.
        #
        #3. If the name is found then decrypt it.  Decrypting is that exact reverse operation from encrypting.  Take a look at the
        # caesar cypher lecture as a reference.  You do not need to write your own decryption function, you can reuse passwordEncrypt
        #
        #  Write the above one step at a time.  By this I mean, write step 1...  but in your loop print out every item in the list
        #  for testing purposes.  Then write step 2, and print out the password but not decrypted.  Then write step 3.  This way
        #  you can test easily along the way.

Answer 1

Implementation of choice 2

Step 1 is to iterate on the list of password which will return a list of website and password in which second element (index=1) element will be password corresponding to website

Step 2 is to match the website with the input website if it got match the it will print the password else it will print nothing

Step 3 if we got a match for the website we get the password , decrypt the password and then print it

For Ceaser cipher decryption key = 26 - encryption key

means that if we encrypt the encrypted password with 26 - encryption key , it will return the decrypted password

Implementation of choice 3

Step 1 is to encrypt the password with passwordEncrypt() function

Step 2 is to make a list object of website and encrypted password

Step 3 is to append that list object to the passwords list
