# Password Manager
#### Video Demo: [Password Manager](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI3BWp-vnzc&t=3s)
### Background
I have a problem with managing passwords:
1. Each site uses a different password.
2. I don't want to save my password in a file with the original password
3. If encrypt passwords, I want to have a master password with a key
Finally got idea after a few articles I read. The solution is a Password Manager with authentication using PBKDF2. In python, so many package for password encryption but i use crytography because this package easy for encrypt and decrypt.
### Description:
This project is the development of a simple Password Manager created using the Python programming language. The Password Manager operates as a Command-Line Interface (CLI) application. Its primary purpose is to encrypt and securely store passwords entered by the user. The passwords are encrypted using the PBKDF2 algorithm before being saved in a CSV file.
### Key Features
1. **PBKDF2 Encryption:** User-entered passwords are encrypted using the PBKDF2 algorithm, enhancing security by generating a strong cryptographic hash.
2. **CSV Storage**: Encrypted passwords are stored in a CSV file. Each entry includes details such as the service name, username, and the encrypted password.
3. **CLI-Based Interaction:** The Password Manager operates through the command line, offering an interactive user experience for adding, deleting, and viewing stored passwords.
4. **Enhanced Display:** The application uses the `tabulate` library for formatted display of password information and `pyfiglet` for ASCII art headers
### Project Structure
- `project.py`: Main application file containing the Password Manager's logic.
- `test_project.py`: Test functions file to ensure the correct functionality of the Password Manager.
- `master.key`: File to store the encrypted master keyused by the user.This file is automatically generated after successfully authentication.
- `password.csv`: CSV file used for storing encrypted password data. This file is automatically generated after encrypting passwords.
- `README.md`: Documentation file containing project information, installation guide, and usage instructions.
### Installation
1. **Python 3.7:** Ensure Python 3.7 is installed on your system.
2. **Dependency Installation:** Navigate to the project directory and execute the following command to install required dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Usage
1. **Running the Application:** Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory. Execute the following command to start the application:
```
python project.py
```
2. **Main Menu:**
3. **List Passwords:**
4. **Encrypt Password:**
5. **Edit Password:**
6. **Delete Password:**
