pass_usb: USB Password Manager
===============================
**pass_usb** is a Python-based USB password manager that enables users to securely store and retrieve their passwords using a USB device. This tool ensures that your sensitive information remains portable and accessible only when the designated USB device is connected to your system.
Features
--------
* **Secure Storage**: Encrypts passwords and stores them on your USB device, ensuring data safety.
* **Portability**: Access your passwords on any system by simply connecting your USB device.
* **User Authentication**: Ensures that only authorized users can access the stored passwords.
Prerequisites
-------------
Before using pass_usb, ensure you have the following:
* **Python 3.x**: The script is written in Python and requires Python 3.x to run.
* **USB Device**: A USB flash drive to store and retrieve your encrypted passwords.
* ```bash
pip install cryptography sqlite3
```
Installation
------------
1. ```bash
git clone https://github.com/DeadpoolX7/pass_usb.git
```
2. **Prepare Your USB Device**:
* Insert your USB flash drive into your computer.
* Note the mount point or drive letter assigned to your USB device.
3. **Open terminal**
- Run:
```bash
python pass_boss.py
```
4. Execute the script using Python:
```bash
pass_boss.py
```
Usage
-----
Upon running the script, you'll be presented with a menu to manage your passwords:
1. **Add a New Password**: Store a new password entry on your USB device.
2. **Retrieve a Password**: Access and decrypt a stored password.
3. **Delete a Password**: Remove an existing password entry.
4. **List All Entries**: View all stored password entries.
5. **Exit**: Close the application.
**Note**: Ensure your USB device is connected at all times while using the application. The script reads from and writes to the USB device directly.
Security Considerations
-----------------------
* **Encryption**: The script utilizes the cryptography library to encrypt and decrypt your passwords, ensuring they are stored securely on the USB device.
* **USB Safety**: Always eject your USB device safely to prevent data corruption.
* **Backup**: Regularly back up your encrypted password file to prevent data loss in case the USB device is damaged or lost.
