So someone can log in as any user in your system, so long as they know the password for at least one account?

So what you need to do is google "how to read files in python".

Google[^]

File Handling Cheat Sheet in Python[^]

Reading and Writing Files in Python[^]

Now break your problem down into smaller pieces so you don't feel overwhelmed. So figure out to read usernames.txt and loop over each line (examples provided in links above). Then use your string contains code to decide what to do within the loop over file lines.
