I'm trying to save login info to a .txt file from inputs stored in a dict which i have done successfully but when try add a second set of login info it rewrites the existing login info instead of adding it to the file in a new line. This is the code i have. please forgive me if this is a simple answer i'm sorta new I'm using python 3

login_info = {
    "login_site": "blank",
    "username": "blank",
    "password": 1234
}

login_location = input('What site/app is this login info used for?')
user_define = input('What is your Username?')
password_define = input('What is your password')

login_info["login_site"] = login_location
login_info["username"] = user_define
login_info["password"] = password_define

with open(r"C:\MyTextFile\login.txt", "w+") as file:
    file.write(str(login_info))
file.close()

Change your code to this:

with open(r"C:\MyTextFile\login.txt", "a") as file:

from python docs:

'w' for only writing (an existing file with the same name will be erased), and 'a' opens the file for appending; any data written to the file is automatically added to the end.

Instead of opening the file in write 'w' mode, you should open it in append 'a' mode.

with open('abc.txt','a') as file:
