The error was: Warning: Problem with getpass. Passwords may be echoed.
My code is: #This is for a password protected program to store passwords. import getpass password = "hello" sitelist = {} def main_menu(): print "1) Add a login info card" print "2) Lookup a login info card" print "3) Remove a login info card" print "4) Print Login info list" print "9) Exit" def add_site(): print "Add a login info card" site = raw_input("Site: ") id = raw_input("User ID: ") passcard = getpass.getpass("Password: ") sitelist[site] = [id,passcard] def lookup_site(): print "Lookup a login info card" site = raw_input("Site: ") if sitelist.has_key(site): print "The ID is: ",sitlist[site][0] print "The password is: ",sitelist[site][1] else: print site," was not found." def remove_site(): print "Remove a login info card" site = raw_input("Site: ") if sitelist.has_key(site): del sitelist[site] else: print site," was not found." def print_login_info(): print "Login Info" for x in sitelist.keys(): print "Site: ",x," \tID: ",sitelist[x][0]," \tPassword: ",sitelist[x][1],"\n" print "The Password Program" print "By Nathan Pinno" print answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ") while password != answer: print "The password is incorrect." answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ") print "Welcome to the second half of the program." while 1: main_menu() menu_choice = int(raw_input("Choose an option: ")) if menu_choice == 1: add_site() elif menu_choice == 2: lookup_site() elif menu_choice == 3: remove_site() elif menu_choice == 4: print_login_info() elif menu_choice == 9: break else: print "That's not an option!" print "Have a nice day!"
