## Functionality
**Passify** provides essential features for secure password management:
- **User Authentication**: Secure login with master passwords, which are hashed for protection.
- **Password Management**: Add, update, and delete passwords, all securely salted and encrypted with AES.
- **Data Security**: Utilizes PBKDF2 hashing with salting for master passwords, ensuring robust protection.
- **Intuitive UI**: User-friendly interface designed with JavaFX for easy navigation.
- **Categorization**: Organize passwords into **Work**, **Social**, and **Miscellaneous** categories.
- **Favorites & Trash**: Mark passwords as favorites for quick access and recover deleted passwords from trash.
- **Password Generator**: Create strong, secure passwords with the built-in generator.
- **User Dashboard**: An overview dashboard for efficient management of user settings and preferences.
## Workings
Passify operates on a simple model-view-controller (MVC) architecture with an additional Data Access Object (DAO) layer. The application interacts with a MySQL database through JDBC for user data storage and retrieval. The user interface is built using JavaFX, allowing for a responsive and modern design. The following components work together:
1. **Model**: Represents the data and the business logic. This includes user accounts and password entries.
2. **View**: The JavaFX UI components that the user interacts with.
3. **Controller**: Handles user input and updates the model and view accordingly.
4. **DAO**: Provides an abstract interface to the database, managing the CRUD operations for user accounts and password entries.
## Project Status
Although the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of Passify is complete, the application is still a work in progress. Future updates will address the following issues:
- **Favorites**: Implementing a feature to mark passwords as favorites for quick access from the main navigation.
- **Trash**: Adding a trash feature to list and recover deleted passwords.
- **Types**: Categorizing credentials by type, including login credentials, card details, identity documents, etc.
- **User Dashboard**: Creating a user dashboard for better usability and additional features.
- **Automatic Database Setup**: Streamlining the database setup process to allow users to set up the database automatically without needing to run SQL scripts manually.
## Installation
To set up Passify on your local machine, follow these steps:
1. **Install MySQL:** *(Skip if you already have installed and setup MySQL)*
- **Windows**: Download the installer from the [MySQL website](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/) and follow the installation instructions.
- **Linux**:
```bash
sudo apt install mysql-server
```
- **Post-Installation**: Secure the installation:
```bash
sudo mysql_secure_installation
```

git clone https://github.com/Anish-Shinde-1/Passify.git
```
3. **Navigate to the project directory:**
```bash
cd passify
```
4. **Run the MySQL database setup script:**
- Navigate to the src/main/java/com/passify/utils/PasswordManagerDatabaseScript.sql to copy its path and run the SQL script to set up the database.
```bash
# For Linux:
mysql -u -p < /path/to/PasswordManagerDatabaseScript.sql
# For Windows:
mysql -u -p < "C:\\path\\to\\PasswordManagerDatabaseScript.sql"
```
5. **Update the JDBC connector class:**
- Open the JDBC_Connector.java file located in src/main/java/com/passify/utils/ and update the server login credentials (USER and PASSWORD) according to your MySQL server settings.
6. **Install Apache Maven:**
