Account Manager

A secure and user-friendly password manager application built with Python, Tkinter, and SQLite. This application allows users to store and retrieve account credentials, securely encrypting sensitive information using the cryptography library. Ideal for organizing multiple accounts with custom categories and tags, the password manager offers an accessible GUI to simplify credential management.

Features

• Secure Storage: All passwords are encrypted using the Fernet symmetric encryption method, ensuring data privacy and security.
• Category and Tag Organization: Users can categorize accounts (e.g., "Social Media", "Finance") and apply tags (e.g., "Important", "Work") for easy access and organization.
• Random Password Generator: Generates strong, random passwords with customizable criteria (upper/lowercase letters, numbers, symbols).
• Search and Filter: Efficiently search stored accounts by username, category, or tag.
• Intuitive GUI: A Tkinter-based graphical user interface allows easy interaction and account management.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/Account_manager.git
   cd Account_manager
   

2. Run the application:

   python main.py
   

Usage

• Add New Account: Input a username, account details, and password. Assign a category and tag, then save the information. The password will be encrypted before storage.

• Generate Random Password: Click the "Generate Password" button to create a strong password, which will automatically populate the password field.

• Search by Category or Tag: Use the dropdown menus to filter accounts by category or tag, making it easy to locate specific credentials.

• Retrieve and Decrypt Passwords: Select an account to view its stored, decrypted password in a secure pop-up window.

File Structure

Security Considerations

• Encryption Key: The encryption key (account_manager_key) is generated once and reused. This key should be stored securely, as it is essential for decrypting stored passwords.
• .gitignore: Sensitive files such as the database (Account_Storage.db) and the encryption key should be included in .gitignore to prevent accidental uploads to version control.

Dependencies

• tkinter: GUI framework for creating the user interface
• sqlite3: Lightweight SQL database for data storage
• cryptography: Library for password encryption and decryption
• Pillow: Image handling library for displaying the lock icon
