Password-Manager

This is one of my first projects in cybersecurity that I developed to deepen my knowledge and gain practical experience. This is a console-based password manager developed in Python that leverages SQLite for secure storage. Utilizes Fernet for encrypting passwords and bcrypt for hashing the master password, ensuring robust protection for your sensitive data I welcome your feedback and comments for improvement as well as tips to help me develop the project further.

Implemented Features

• Database options: Create/open/delete a .key-database
• Entry options: Add/delete one/delete all/view entries (website, username, password)
• Generate a pseudogenerated password
• En- and decryption of all passwords with fernet
• En- and decryption your files with master password
• Hashing and salting with bcrypt

Security Libraries

• Cryptography with Fernet: Used for symmetric encryption of passwords.
• bcrypt: Used for salting to protect against rainbow table attacks, securely hashing the master password for enhanced security.

Project status

• Still in progress

Future implementations

• Additional features and improvements will be added as the project progresses.

Installation and usage

Installation Steps

Clone the repository and navigate into the directory

git clone https://github.com/sp8cky/Password-Manager && cd Password-Manager

Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Start

Start the main script from root directory:

python src/password_manager.py

Usage

1. Create a new database: At startup, you can create a new password database and set a master password.
2. Set a master password: Once the database is created, you will be prompted to set a master password. This protects access to the database.
3. Manage entries:
   • After verifying the master password, you can add, view or delete entries.
   • Adding a new entry: You can save website names, usernames and passwords.
   • View entries: All saved passwords can be listed.
   • Password Generator: PWM offers an option to create randomly generated passwords.

Database management

PWM stores your passwords in an SQLite database, which is encrypted with a .key file. Each database is protected with an individual key. The key is generated automatically when you create a new database.

• Delete database: You can securely delete a database by selecting the "Delete Database" option in the main menu.
• Key files: Make sure that the .key file is stored securely. Without this file you will not be able to access your database.

Project structure

• password_manager_class.py: Contains the PasswordManager class that encapsulates important variables and methods for database operations.
• password_manager.py: Main script that executes the password manager.
• encryption_handler.py: Encryption logic (encryption/decryption of passwords and master password management).
• input_handler.py: Contains functions for user input and menu control.
• db_handler.py: Manages database operations (creating, opening, deleting entries).
