  • Password Generation: Generate strong, randomized passwords with customizable length and character sets.
  • Encryption: Encrypt password data to ensure security and privacy.
  • Search: Easily search for stored passwords by account name or keyword.

Security Considerations

  • Master Password: Choose a strong and unique master password to protect your password database.
  • Encryption: Password data is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Avoid Storing Sensitive Information: While the password manager encrypts data, it's best to avoid storing highly sensitive information such as financial or personal data.
