Password Manager offers the following functions:

• Add password: To add a new password, you will need to fill in a form with the name of the password, the username and the password itself. The password will be encrypted before being stored in the database.

• View Password: You can view an existing password by clicking a view button on the main page. This will display the encrypted password on the screen.

• Delete Password: To delete a password, you will need to select the desired password on the main page and click a confirmation button. This will delete the password from the database.

Security is an important concern for Password Manager. Therefore, the application uses the Fernet library to encrypt passwords before storing them in the database. In addition, the application uses HTTPS to ensure that information is transmitted securely between the client and the server.
