Inspiration

I saw a video on Computerphile which revolved around password managers. Around that time, I also wanted to start using secure passwords. So in order to hit two birds with one stone, I created this project.

What it does

It can store passwords along with other credentials like email, username. It salts and encrypts your passwords using the master passwords you choose. It can also generate strong passwords for you. I personally use it for storing my passwords

Challenges I ran into

Since I knew little to nothing about cryptography before this challenge, I had to do some research about how password managers work.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of myself that I completed this project.

What I learned

I learnt the basics of encryption and how it can be used to store sensitive data safely.

What's next for LocalPasswordManager

LocalPasswordManager has inspired me to create a cloud password manager which I am working on right now.
