About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a simple program that checks how strong a password is, and also helps users make secure passwords. It will give feedback on things like length, use of numbers, and special symbols, and let users create a strong password with a click.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly and doesn't require advanced programming. You'll work step-by-step, learning how to write code that people really use, and see results right away on your screen.

What you'll learn: You'll get hands-on with basic coding, learn about password safety, and practice making user-friendly tools. This builds a foundation for both cybersecurity and everyday software skills.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan describing what your password checker and generator will do, and show Python installed with a "Hello World" test. Done when you have a clear goal and can run Python code.

2. Core Build: Password Strength Checker

30 marks 10d

Submit Python code that checks if a password is strong (length, numbers, symbols, upper/lowercase) and gives feedback. Done when your script takes a password and tells if it's strong or how to improve.

3. Core Build: Secure Password Generator

30 marks 10d

Submit code that can create a random, strong password based on set rules (length, characters). Done when you can press 'run' and get a new strong password each time.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Submit proof of testing (screenshots or notes) showing different passwords tried and results, and make sure the program is easy to use (clear prompts, no crashes). Done when your tool works smoothly for typical users.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Submit a short (1-2 page) report and a quick video or screenshots demo: what you built, what you learned, and how it works. Done when you can show and explain your project to someone new.
