First Project (password manager)
hey guys,
so i have made my first "useful" project namely the password manager.
It can generate random passwords of your desired length and then can save them in a database.
you can also use the database for saving editing and deleting your own passwords.
i have uploaded a short video on the output ( https://youtube.com/shorts/N69mUDZQRtA?feature=share ) and provided a link to my github ( https://github.com/ColMahir/Python.git ) where the code is posted.
i will be greatly thankful for your thoughts on this. Please share anything you want.

Good start assuming you are rather new to programming in general. From here I would change and/or implement the following things if you want to go more advanced:
as already suggested, never save raw passwords in a db (in production), encrypt it
for things such as a menu I recommend a switch case instead of a chained if statement
for reusability, easier maintenance and readability use functions. Maybe even put your sql statements in constants for easier management
if you want to go fancy go OOP and make classes to hold data and functionality in objects for like db, passwords, menu etc
Keep going!

I didnt understand a single thing 😂. Thank you for the feedback as soon as i learn more about these things I will surely implement it.

In that case skip encryption and OOP for now ;)
Functions and a switch case should be doable quickly if you look them up and give your code a clean and a lot more readable touch

Literally
functions python
switch case python
Both are programming basics not exclusive to python, so very useful in general. Good luck! :)
