I built a Python project to explore practical password security

Hi everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a Python open-source tool called shieldpass that focuses on practical password security.
Instead of doing just one thing, it combines multiple features that I often needed separately, like:

  • generate secure passwords
  • build password wordlists
  • calculate password entropy
  • check whether a password has appeared in known data breaches

I built it mainly as a learning project to better understand how password strength, entropy, and breach checking actually work in practice — not just in theory.
I’m especially interested in feedback on:

  • security assumptions and potential weaknesses
  • code structure / design choices
  • features that would actually be useful in real-world scenarios
