A secure, command-line password manager built with Python. Features strong AES encryption, SHA-256 hashing, and local MySQL database storage. Store, retrieve, and generate passwords with confidence using industry-standard cryptographic practices and a clean, intuitive CLI interface

• AES-256-CBC encryption with HMAC authentication
• PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations)
• Salt-based protection against rainbow table attacks
• Device-specific secrets for additional security layer
• No cloud storage - your passwords stay on your device

• Python 3.8+
• MySQL Server

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MartinXCVI/password-manager.git
cd password-manager

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up your MySQL database and update src/config/db_config.py

4. Run initial setup:

python -m src.config.config

Create an .env file in the root directory.

python -m src.password_manager add -s "Gmail" -u "https://gmail.com" -l "john@example.com"

python -m src.password_manager extract -s "Gmail"
python -m src.password_manager extract -s "Gmail" --copy # Copy to clipboard

python -m src.password_manager generate --length 32
