Lock&Key is a self-hosted, self-managed, open-source password manager. It provides everything you need to store and manage your accounts securely!
Lock&Key is built using Python as its main language with MySQL integrated to help store and manage password entries, it's self-hosted and open-source meaning you as the consumer have full control over everything. The master password for each user is used to encrypt and decrypt all user data with strong encryption to provide secure storage.
- Adding account entries: Create new or add existing account entries.
- Updating account entries: Modify account entries with new information.
- Deleting account entries: Remove unwanted account entries.
- Listing account entries: Display a list of all or specified account entries.
- Password generation: Generate random, complex passwords.
- Encryption: All data is securely stored with encryption.
The user needs to have a local MySQL server set up and running, here is how to set up a MySQL server locally:
IMPORTANT! - When creating a MySQL user account, remember these credentials, these credentials will be used to establish a database connection when running the application.
The Lock&Key password manager has been packaged as an executable for both Windows and Linux using the "pyinstaller" tool. Downloading the executable for your operating system eliminates the need to install any dependencies. It’s designed to work seamlessly right out of the box!
