CLI Password Manager
Meta:
Technologies:
PythonCryptographyCustomTkinterPyperclip
This project is a robust command-line interface (CLI) password manager developed in Python, designed for secure storage and easy management of user credentials.
Key Features
- Secure Encryption: Utilizes the
cryptographylibrary to ensure all stored passwords are encrypted, providing a high level of security. - Master Password Protection: A single master password is used to derive an encryption key, enhanced with salting to protect against common attacks.
- Command-Line Interface: Provides a straightforward and efficient command-line interface for users to interact with the password manager, allowing them to save new credentials and retrieve existing ones.
- Clipboard Integration: Integrates with
pyperclipto allow for easy copying of retrieved passwords to the clipboard, enhancing usability while maintaining security. - Database Storage: Passwords are securely stored in a local database, managed through
database.py.
Technical Implementation
The project is primarily implemented in Python, leveraging several key libraries:
cryptography: For robust encryption and decryption of sensitive password data.pyperclip: For cross-platform clipboard operations.customtkinter: (Note: Whilecustomtkinteris listed as a dependency, themain.pyprovided indicates a CLI application. This dependency might be for a planned GUI or an alternative entry point not currently inmain.py.)- Modular Design: The application is structured with separate modules for key derivation (
derive_key.py), database operations (database.py), and the main application logic (main.py), promoting maintainability and clarity.
