Password Manager

A simple, yet effective password manager built with Python and Tkinter. I built it for myself out of distrust in third-party password managers. Encryption key is derived from the master password and can either be stored on device or not.

Overview

Secure Password Storage

• Store service name, passwords, username, email and notes securely for each account.
• Organize stored passwords by category.
• Sort, filter, and search through stored passwords.
• Quickly copy passwords to the clipboard.

Security

• Access your vault with a single master password.
• Secure storage using Fernet encryption.
• Passwords are encrypted using an encryption key derived from the master password (using PBKDF2HMAC).
• Choose whether the encryption key is stored on your device:
  • Stored: Less secure, but allows for manual decryption if you forget the master password.
  • Not stored: More secure, but you will lose all your data if you lose your the master password.
