Password Manager

A secure, user-friendly password manager written in Python and MySQL. It employs PBKDF2 to generate a 256-bit key from the master password and the device secret, which is then used with AES-256 for encryption/decryption. Additionally, SHA-256 is utilized to hash the master password. The GUI was developed using Tkinter.
