Maybe it's not very original idea, but I think It can be useful.

The API

SPS is a system to set, remove and force password anytime you want. Not much more I can tell about it...

Functions:

Spoiler

setPassword(text) -Sets the main password, overrides the last main password.
addPassword(text) -Adds an optional password, if you add 5 passwords, user can enter any of them to pass. Idea by Mibac138
removePassword() -Removes all passwords
security() -Forces user to enter the main or any of the optional passwords

Pastebin install:

pastebin get Lx8enqbA sps

Example use:
Protected HelloWorld:

os.loadAPI("sps")

sps.setPassword("yourpassword")
sps.security()
print("Hello world!")   --This line will only work if the password is correct

Force use to enter all your passwords:

os.loadAPI("ps")

local list = {
"thecakeisalie",
"ilikecookies",
"passwordnumber3",
"notapassword",
}

for i = 1, #list do
	ps.setPassword(list[i])
	ps.security()
end

term.setTextColor(colors.green)
print("You did it! :D/>/>")
sleep(3)
term.clear()

Features:

• Universality
  
• Color support
  
• Multiple use without any errors

Change log:

Spoiler

1.1 -Protected program from terminating it.
1.2 -Added addPassword function. Now you can have multiple passwords at the same time.

Thanks for reading! I hope you'll like it.

Yes. That's right.
And this is just my first API ever. So I didn't think it can get a positive opinion... But anyway seems like it can be useful.

Under function security(), put

local pe = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

then at the bottom put

os.pullEvent = pe

This prevents people terminating the program.

You might also want to use a while loop instead of recursive calling the checkPassword function, to prevent stack overflow.

Either way, It's very good! Well done.

Thanks for hints and corrections! I wasn't actually going to edit it any more, but I can make a new version when I'll have some time.

No, this method is good for me, because I can precisely define when the method should loop and when it should end. Well, for now it doesn't overflow, I'll think about it then.

Well if it hits 255 then it will overflow so...

I edited this topic to version 1.2.
The title should be:
[API] Smigolpol's Password System[v1.2]

But the editor doesn't let me save it like that...
