  Key Features

  
  

  • Secure Storage with Fernet Encryption Your passwords are encrypted using Fernet, a robust symmetric encryption method from the cryptography library in Python. Fernet ensures that your information is confidential and tamper-proof, giving you peace of mind that your sensitive data is well-protected.
  • Innovative Key Selection Process Enhance your security with our unique key generation method:
    • Hidden Digit Selection:
      • When creating a vault, you're presented with 10 options, each displaying a 15-digit number.
      • Within these numbers, you select 4 secret digits that are uniquely significant to you.
      • Click on the numbers where your secret digits are embedded to form your encryption key.
    • Layered Security:
      • This method adds an extra layer of obfuscation, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to guess your key.
      • The combination of memorizing your secret digits and their positions within longer numbers dramatically enhances your vault's security.
  • Account Lockout Protection Strengthen your security with our account lockout feature:
    • Three Failed Attempts:
      • If an incorrect key is entered three times, the account will be locked for 12 hours.
      • This helps prevent brute-force attacks by limiting the number of login attempts.
    • Restricted Access During Lockout:
      • While the account is locked, access to the vault is restricted to ensure maximum security.
      • Account Deletion Option: During the lockout period, you have the option to delete your account if you suspect unauthorized access or potential compromise.
    • Why This Matters:
      • Empowers you to take swift action to protect your data.
      • Adds an additional security layer by deterring unauthorized users from repeated access attempts.
  • Security Alerts and Monitoring
    • Intrusion Detection:
      • The app monitors for unauthorized access attempts.
      • If someone tries to access your vault without the correct key, you'll receive immediate alerts.
  • User-Friendly Interface Manage your passwords with a clean, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) designed for simplicity and efficiency. Adding new entries or organizing existing ones is straightforward and hassle-free.
  • Customizable Vaults Create and manage multiple vaults to organize your passwords effectively. Keep your personal, work, and hobby-related passwords separate for better accessibility.
  • Cross-Platform Potential While currently optimized for Windows, the Platypus Password Manager is designed with cross-platform functionality in mind, paving the way for future development across different operating systems.
