SecurePasswordManager | Cybersecurity Project

Overview

This project is a secure and robust password manager application developed using Python and advanced cryptographic techniques. The goal is to provide a secure solution for storing, retrieving, and managing user credentials, while ensuring the highest levels of data protection and confidentiality.

Key Features

  • Secure Master Password Management: Utilizes Argon2 hashing for secure storage of the master password, offering protection against brute-force and rainbow table attacks.
  • Encryption & Decryption: Implements AES-256 encryption to protect stored passwords in the database. Passwords are securely encrypted using keys derived from the master password and a salt.
  • Password Key Derivation: Uses scrypt for generating AES-256 encryption keys from the master password and salt to ensure secure password storage and retrieval.
  • Password Generator: Provides a tool for generating strong, random passwords of configurable lengths, improving password strength and security.
  • Password Strength Checker: Evaluates and encourages strong password practices by assessing password length, character diversity, and estimated cracking time for improved user security.
  • Database Management: Configured a MySQL database to store encrypted password entries with seamless management of password data. Includes options to create, remove, and reconfigure the database schema.

Technologies Used

  • Python: Primary programming language for developing the application.
  • Argon2: Used for secure password hashing.
  • scrypt: Key derivation function for generating encryption keys.
  • AES-256: Applied for strong encryption of user passwords.
  • MySQL: Database management system used to securely store encrypted password data.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/Pawar-Tushar/SecurePasswordManager.git
  2. Install the required dependencies: 
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Configure the database connection in the dbconfig.py and Run this cmd : 
    python db.py
  4. Run the application: 
    python main.py

Usage

  • Add Password: Add a new password entry to the database by entering a title, username, and password. The password will be encrypted before being stored.
  • Retrieve Password: Search and retrieve encrypted password entries based on the title or username.
  • Generate Password: Use the password generator to create a random, strong password and copy it to your clipboard.
  • Check Password Strength: Use the built-in password strength checker to evaluate the security of any password based on various criteria.
