🔐 Secure Password Manager

A robust, local password manager built with Python and Tkinter. It uses strong AES encryption (Fernet) to securely store your credentials locally on your machine.

🚀 Features

  • AES-128 Encryption: Uses the cryptography library to encrypt data using a Master Password.
  • Password Strength Meter: Real-time visual feedback on password complexity (Very Weak to Very Strong).
  • Auto-Lock Timeout: Automatically locks the session and closes the app after 30 seconds of inactivity.
  • Secure Storage: Uses a unique salt for every user (salt.key) to prevent Rainbow Table attacks.
  • Zero-Knowledge: Your master password is never stored; it is only used to derive the encryption key in memory.
  • CSV Export: Backup your data to a CSV file (saved in plain text, use with caution!).
  • Clipboard Integration: One-click copy for usernames and passwords.

🛠️ Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • cryptography library

⚡ Usage

  1. Run the application: python main.py

  2. First Run: You will be asked to create a Master Password.

    • Warning: Do not forget this password! If you lose it, you lose access to your vault forever.

  3. Login: Enter your Master Password to unlock the vault.

🛡️ Security Note

This application generates two files locally:

  • vault.dat: The encrypted database.
  • salt.key: The random salt used for encryption.

NEVER share or upload these two files. They are strictly for your local machine.
