The APyT GUI forms module

This module provides a lightweight graphical user interface (GUI) for interactive data entry forms using Tkinter. It is intended for situations where command-line input is insufficient or where a simple, cross-platform dialog is preferred.

Currently, the module focuses on login functionality, offering a secure and user-friendly way to collect authentication credentials during runtime.
