Secure Password Encryption and Decryption Tool

By Vaibhav Gupta

The Secure Password Encryption and Decryption Tool is a user-friendly Python application built using the Tkinter library.

About:
This project is implemented in Python and leverages the cryptography library, specifically the Fernet encryption algorithm, to ensure strong and reliable encryption. Tkinter, the standard GUI library for Python, is used to create an intuitive and visually appealing user interface. The program provides a secure way to manage and retrieve passwords, making it a valuable tool for safeguarding sensitive information.

Instructions for Using:

Encrypting a Password:

Launch the application.
Enter your password in the "Enter Password" field.
Click the "Encrypt and Save" button.
Choose a location to save the encrypted password as a .enc file.
Decrypting a Password:

Launch the application.
Click the "Decrypt File" button.
Select the encrypted password file (.enc) that you want to decrypt.
The decrypted password will be displayed on the screen.
Important Note: In a real-world application, it's crucial to store the encryption key securely. In this demonstration, the key is generated each time you run the program, which is not secure. In a production environment, you should securely manage and store the encryption key.

This project description provides a clear understanding of the project's purpose, the technologies used (Python, Tkinter, and cryptography), and step-by-step instructions for users. It emphasizes the importance of securely managing the encryption key in real-world applications.
