Java login

This is a basic cli java program that acts as a login screen.

-- Creds: username: user password: pass

How it works

There are two classes one stores the correct pre hashed creds and another just named main that takes a user input username and password, hashes them then compares the hashes with the correct hashes.

Future improvemnts

• The password field is currently displayed in plain text this is less than ideal for a password field so I intend to make a html or swing frontend for this program.
• Currently this doesn't do anything other than display a message but this could be intigrated into other programs
• Split the classes into seprate files so that one file stores the hashes seprate from the login action
• Add a Dockerfile to compile the program
