Creating my own Secure Password Manager in Python!

In this video, I create a password manager using Python and MySQL. It is written with the most secure algorithms in the market. The idea is just like any other password manager available out there - Take a MASTER PASSWORD from the user that is not stored by the program. This master password is then used to generate a cryptographically strong key that is then used to encrypt/decrypt all your other passwords with a military grade algorithm called the AES-256. It is a command line application that first uses the PBKDF2 (Password Based Key Derivation Function) to compute a Master Key from the Master Password chosen by the user and a Device Secret that is randomly generated by the program. The Master Key which is of 256 bit length is then used to encrypt/decrypt all the stuff inside the password manager. To sum it all up, it makes a great, basic, and secure password manager that you can write yourself with Python and MySQL. It works locally but you can also modify it to give it a “remote“
