This is a terrible idea.

Learning the basics of python (or anything for that matter) is a good thing, but you seem to start at the wrong end. Password Managers are not used to just store passwords, they are used to store them encrypted and save, they are supposed to save yourself from using the same password for everything. Nothing can be learned by reading your 3 articles on the topic. Bad practices such as not using context managers or the use of CamelCase (These two are not terrible but when trying to teach you should always try to teach the best practices) as well as suggesting that it is totally fine to store passwords unencrypted without anything to protect them.
If you wanted to teach people about python then take down this article and start simple.
