Installation:

Download the zip via github.com/nightmare-tech/PWD_Vault or clone it via git :-

git clone https://nightmare-tech/PWD_Vault

It is a very small repository. So, I didn't need another way to install it. And it’s the easiest :)

• For Windows users

  cd PWD_Vault
  

1. Create a virtual environment (Optional but recommended)

   python -m venv .
   source bin/activate
   

2. Install the necessary packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the script

   PWD_Vault.bat
   

   OR

   cd PWD_Vault
   python PWD_Vault.py
   

   After you're done deactivate the "venv" by running deactivate.

• For Linux users

  cd PWD_Vault
  ./PWD_Vault.sh

  The bash script checks if there is a virtual environment present, if not it makes a "venv" and installs the dependencies there but if you're using it again then it will detect the "venv", activate it and run the script and deactivate the "venv" after exiting. You're Welcome O:)
