# CipherLock
CipherLock is a simple yet secure command-line password manager written in Python. It encrypts sensitive information to help you safely store, retrieve, and manage your passwords.
## Features
- **Secure Password Storage**: Encrypts passwords using symmetric encryption to ensure security.
- **Add New Passwords**: Save usernames and passwords for various websites or services.
- **Retrieve Passwords**: Quickly access stored passwords.
- **List Accounts**: View all stored account entries.
- **Delete Passwords**: Remove passwords when no longer needed.
- **Master Password Protection**: Access all features with a master password.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
- `cryptography` library
## Installation
1. **Clone the Repository**
Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alilotfi23/CipherLock.git
cd cipherlock
```
2. **Install Dependencies**
Install the required Python libraries using pip:
```bash
pip install cryptography
```
## Usage
1. **Run the Password Manager**
Execute the script from the command line:
```bash
python cipherlock.py
```
2. **Interact with CipherLock**
After running the script, you will be prompted to enter your master password. Once entered, you can choose from the following options:
- **Add a New Password**: Enter the website, username, and password to store them securely.
- **Retrieve a Password**: Enter the website to fetch the username and decrypted password.
- **List All Accounts**: Display all stored websites/accounts.
- **Delete a Password**: Enter the website to remove the associated entry.
- **Quit**: Exit the password manager.
3. **Master Password**
Upon launching the application, you will be prompted to enter a master password. This master password is required to access and manage your stored passwords.
## Security Considerations
- **Key File**: An encryption key is stored in `key.key`. Ensure this file is kept secure, as it is essential for decrypting your passwords.
- **Data File**: Passwords are stored in `passwords.json` in an encrypted format. Protect this file from unauthorized access.
- **Master Password**: Implement additional measures, such as hashing and secure storage, for the master password in a production environment.
