Raspberry Pi For Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - Get the Password in Your Python Program

The video tutorial explains how to send an email from a Raspberry Pi using Python. It emphasizes the importance of not storing passwords in plain text within the code. Instead, it demonstrates creating a hidden file to store the password securely. The tutorial also covers reading the password from the file in a Python program and discusses security considerations, including the use of two-factor authentication for better protection.

Why is it considered bad practice to store passwords in plain text within a Python file?

• It makes the code run slower.

• It can lead to security vulnerabilities.

• It increases the file size.

• It is against Python syntax rules.

What command is used to create a new file in Unix systems?

• rm

• touch

• mkdir

• nano

What is the purpose of using a dot (.) at the beginning of a file name in Unix systems?

• To make the file executable.

• To hide the file from normal directory listings.

• To indicate a system file.

• To compress the file.

How can you read the contents of a file in Python?

• Using the print() method.

• Using the execute() method.

• Using the write() method.

• Using the read() method.

What is a limitation of storing passwords in a file on your Raspberry Pi?

• The file takes up too much space.

• The password becomes encrypted automatically.

• The file cannot be accessed by Python.

• The password is still in plain text.

What is a more secure alternative to storing passwords for sending emails?

• Using a public email account.

• Enabling two-factor authentication.

• Using a shared email account.

• Storing passwords in a text file.

Why should you avoid using your personal email account for Raspberry Pi projects?

• It is more expensive.

• It can lead to personal data exposure.

• It is illegal to use personal accounts.

• It requires more storage space.
