Password Manager
Project Description
The Password Manager is a secure application designed to store, manage, and retrieve user credentials efficiently. It provides a centralized and encrypted database where users can save their login credentials for various websites and applications. The system enhances security by implementing strong encryption, auto-generation of complex passwords, and role-based access control. It helps users manage passwords safely without the risk of forgetting or using weak passwords.
Role and Contributions
- Developed Secure Password Storage System – Implemented AES encryption to store passwords safely in the database.
- Created User Authentication & Access Control – Integrated multi-user login with secure authentication mechanisms.
- Implemented Password Generator – Developed a feature to generate strong, random passwords based on user preferences.
Outcomes and Results
- Increased Security – Reduced password-related breaches by encouraging strong, unique passwords.
- Improved User Convenience – Users could securely store and retrieve credentials without remembering multiple passwords.
Technologies Used
- Python (Django Framework) – Backend development for handling user authentication, encryption, and database interactions.
- Cryptography Library (Python) – Used for encrypting and decrypting stored passwords.
- SQLite/MySQL – Database for securely storing encrypted passwords.
Challenges Faced and Solutions
- Challenge: Ensuring secure password encryption and decryption.
Solution: Implemented AES encryption with unique user keys for safety. - Challenge: Preventing unauthorized access to stored credentials.
Solution: Used Django authentication and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
