Inspiration
The inspiration behind this project has been my mother's forgetfulness and me trying to solve her problems through the phone without being able to see what's going on, on her computer screen.
What it does
This is a completely offline solution for password management. We DO NOT store any data online, its just on the computer the software is installed on adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind for the elderly.
How we built it
The application was built using Python, SQLite and Tkinter library to give an old school, nostalgic and simple UI/UX.
Challenges we ran into
When I added the Generate password/View password/Password history feature the Tkinter library did not allow me to directly select text and copy/paste it. I had to come up with a box within the tool where password texts can be interacted with (being able to copy them from the tool).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of this application through and through. It solves a very simple problem for the elderly or for people who have a lot of accounts and need a central, SECURE, offline place to store their passwords.
What we learned
What's next for Offline Password Manager
I am working on publishing the app to the Microsoft Store. I am running in to a challenge of getting a Entra ID to start a project and publish the app on the Store. I have everything ready and the .appx is all tagged and set for publishing, but this Entra ID has become a hiccup, and I am working on figuring out to get the app published.
