Password Protection For Scripts

You get 2 scripts in one.

Use the upper half to generate your hash code. Then paste it into the code in the lower half. Copy and paste lower 1/2 into your code to get password protection for your script without putting the password into your source code.

password entry

password hash

import PySimpleGUI as sg
import hashlib

'''
     Create a secure login for your scripts without having to include your password in the program. Create an SHA1 hash code for your password using the GUI. Paste into variable in final program
     1. Choose a password
     2. Generate a hash code for your chosen password by running program and entering 'gui' as the password
     3. Type password into the GUI
     4. Copy and paste hash code Window GUI into variable named login_password_hash
     5. Run program again and test your login!
