Summary of Contributions

• New Feature: Adding, Utilising of 2nd level secrets
  • These include: Crypto wallet, Credit Card, WiFi
  • What it does: Allows the user to create more different types secrets
  • Justification: This allows the user to create secrets with more variety that are typically used commonly in the daily life of a student
  • Highlights: This was challenging as it forced a lot more checking on everyone’s parts to ensure all the operations
• New Feature: Operation Cancel
  • What it does: Cancel an Operation that requires multi line of input
  • Justification: This allows the user to stop creating a secret mid way, for example, because they input things wrong or they did not want to save this password anymore
  • Highlights: This was challenging as I had to make sure it worked for all operations that require multi line input. However, this idea actually came up from User Acceptance Testing when I asked a friend to review the application. Among many other suggestions, this was chosen as it was critical to them yet somethings that could be adapted quickly.
