PassWiz 1: Release


Welcome to PassWiz 1!

Here's the changelog;

+ Improved password generation code

+ Added settings page 

+ Added themes

+ Added Help page

+ Improved user installation

+ Improved README file 

This is such a major update to PassWiz, i'm very happy to finally be able to release this upgraded version! Its a massive change from the command line design of earlier iterations but an improvement, i'm sure. There are obviously many new features and additions to PassWiz and I won't show them all off here. 

It's been over a year since I first got the idea for PassWiz and implemented it in Visual Basic, the program has really come a long way. Here is one of the earliest screenshots of the program running. 

 You'll notice a small discrepancy in that the program is titled 'PassWiz' but refers to itself as 'QB Password Generator', this is because the working/original title of the program was - for some reason - QuizBuzzer. I seemed to have fixed this in the first release of PassWiz but the files are still named 'QuizBuzzer'.

I've learned a lot throughout the development of PassWiz, this program was essentially the reason why I learned how to program in C#. I was able to design a logo and then utilise it as branding on the programs page and within the program itself. The logo went through several designs before I settled on the P with a wizards hat (As PassWiz is short for Password Wizard). Here is the original logo, some designs during development and then the finalised version!

 

This program essentially affirmed that I wanted to work on computer programs and once again, I'm very happy to be able to see PassWiz through and finalise its core features/implementations. I'll continue to maintain PassWiz and may implement new features but for now PassWiz will lie until a bug appears or I get an amazing idea that absolutely must be implemented.

As always if you have any suggestions or issues, please get in contact with me! (There is now a dedicated page within the program to do so!)
