Simple Password Manager by xobash

This is a python project that is built with Tkinter, SQLite, and AES encryption for securely storing and managing passwords. This project aims to build upon my security and python knowledge.

Features:

• Master Password Security: Implements hashing of the master password using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 algorithm along with salt to enhance security.

• Keyring Integration: Securely sets and retrieves the master password using the keyring library.

• Secure Access: Prompts the user to enter the master password for authentication before opening the application.

• Secure Password Storage: Encrypts passwords using AES encryption before storing them in the SQLite3 database.

• Dark Mode: Allows users to switch between light and dark modes according to their preference.

• User-friendly Interface: Provides a simple and intuitive interface for adding, viewing, and managing passwords easily.

• Import and Export (Beta): Supports importing passwords from and exporting passwords to a .csv file.

• Search Functionality: Enables users to retrieve passwords based on website names.

• Settings Menu: Provides quick access to import/export passwords and toggle dark mode.

Getting Started:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/xobash/PasswordManager
   

2. Navigate to the Project Directory:

   cd password_manager
   

3. Install Dependencies:

Security Considerations:

• Master Password Handling: Implements secure hashing and salt usage for master password storage.

• Encryption and Decryption: Uses AES encryption for password storage; ensure proper key management.

• Database Security: Store SQLite database securely and restrict access appropriately.

• GUI Security: Validate and sanitize user inputs to prevent injection attacks.

• Error Handling: Ensure consistent and informative error messages without leaking sensitive information.
