PassKeeper is a lightweight, account-free password manager built with C# and WPF. Users authenticate with a master key to locally encrypt and store passwords. The project follows MVVM with WPF UI, and offers options to manually add or auto-generate passwords. Future updates will include more encryption options and mobile support.

# PassKeeper

**PassKeeper** is a simple yet powerful and secure password manager, built with C# and WPF, designed to help users protect their sensitive information without the need for creating an account. This is my first large-scale project, developed as part of my degree, where I applied my knowledge of encryption, secure storage, and modern UI design principles. With PassKeeper, users can easily store, encrypt, and manage passwords locally, using a master key for authentication. The app allows users to manually add their passwords or automatically generate strong ones for improved security, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to safeguard their digital life.
