PYTHON CLI PASSWORD MANAGER

Overview

An offline Password Manager with TUI that stores password securely. This uses 2FA - masterkey (something you know) and OTP (something you have) to authenticate into the vault where the passwords are stored in encrypted format.

Using the masterkey a vault key is derived using PBKDF2(Password Based Key Derivation Function 2) . The vault key is used to encrypt password using AES (recommended by NIST)
