Futures

Here are the features and improvements we plan to add to the tool in the future. If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to share!

  1. Quick Password Generation
    • ✅ Rapidly generates random passwords of specified lengths and strengths.
  2. Password Strength Check
    • ✅ Assesses the strength of user-inputted passwords, providing visual feedback.
  3. Customizable Password Policy
    • ⌛ Enables users to customize password generation rules, such as mandating the inclusion of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, and their minimum occurrences.
  4. Password History Management
    • ⌛ Offers a secure means for users to store and manage their previously generated passwords (with emphasis on encrypted storage), including features to flag frequently used passwords and search for specific ones.
  5. Password Expiration Reminder
    • ⌛ Implements a notification system that alerts users, based on their settings (e.g., every 90 days), when to change passwords for specific websites or applications.
  6. Password Synchronization & Backup
    • ⌛ Provides cloud synchronization functionality, allowing users to sync their password database across multiple devices, ensuring secure access while facilitating cross-platform use.
  7. Security Assessment Report
    • ⌛ Generates detailed reports on password security, analyzing the distribution of password strengths and reuse within the user's database, offering improvement suggestions.
  8. Password Leak Check
    • ⌛ Integrates with an API (like Have I Been Pwned) to check if user-supplied passwords have been exposed in known data breaches, enhancing user awareness of password security.
  9. Random Passphrase Generation
    • ✅ In addition to traditional random strings, includes a dictionary-based passphrase generator that produces longer but more memorable passwords, such as “CorrectHorseBatteryStaple”.
  10. Multilingual Password Support
    • ⌛ Expands character set support to allow for passwords containing non-English characters, catering to international users with specific needs.
  11. Graphical User Interface
    • ⌛ Considers developing a graphical user interface (GUI) to enhance the user experience, particularly for those unfamiliar with command-line operations.
  12. Plug-in Based Development
    • ✅ Develops related plugins to enrich usage scenarios, including browser plugins(xpwd-extend), IDE integrations, and apps for multiple platforms.
  13. Educational Module
    • ⌛Incorporates educational content on password security, covering common password cracking methods and guidelines for creating and managing strong passwords, to boost user awareness.
