# Password Manager
|
||||
|
||||
A secure and user-friendly password manager written in C, utilizing OpenSSL for encryption. This tool allows users to store and manage passwords effectively while ensuring sensitive information remains protected. Explore the features and start managing your passwords securely!
|
||||
A secure command-line password manager written in C using OpenSSL for encryption. This program allows users to store, retrieve, and manage their passwords securely, ensuring that sensitive information remains safe from unauthorized access.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Add New Services**: Store service names, usernames, and passwords (randomly generated if not provided).
|
||||
- **Retrieve Credentials**: Easily fetch stored credentials based on service names.
|
||||
- **List Services**: View all stored services in the vault.
|
||||
- **Secure Encryption**: Utilizes AES encryption with a derived key from a master password.
|
||||
- **Hidden Input**: The master password is entered without displaying it on the screen.
|
||||
- **Command-Line Interface**: User-friendly command-line options for managing passwords.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- OpenSSL Development Libraries
|
||||
- A C compiler (e.g., GCC)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.bidonov.xyz/root/Password-Manager.git
|
||||
cd password-manager
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Compile the program:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcc -o password_manager password_manager.c -lssl -lcrypto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Compile the program:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcc -o password_manager password_manager.c -lssl -lcrypto
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
Run the program with the following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./password_manager --help
|
||||
```
|
||||
This will display the available options and how to use the password manager.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
- To add a new service with a randomly generated password:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./password_manager --add <service_name> --username <username>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- To retrieve credentials for a service:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./password_manager --get <service_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- To list all stored services:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./password_manager --list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- The passwords are securely encrypted using AES-256-CBC.
|
||||
- Keys are derived from a user-provided master password using PBKDF2 for added security.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
- Implementing multi-factor authentication.
|
||||
- Enabling password sharing features.
|
||||
- Developing a web-based interface for improved accessibility.
