Nova 🔒 Password Manager

Project Overview

Nova is a small, user-friendly password manager written in Python using tkinter, customtkinter, and Pillow. It allows you to save account records (account name and password), view saved accounts, copy passwords to clipboard, and delete saved accounts.

📦 Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Required Python packages:

▶️ Running the app

From the project folder (where Password Manager application.py is located) run:

python "Password Manager application.py"

On Windows you can also launch the file by double-clicking if .py files are associated with Python.

🗂️ Project structure (key files)

• Password Manager application.py — main application UI
• Basic/ — modular components (settings, storage, accounts window, effects)
  • Basic/config.py — theme constants (colors, fonts)
  • Basic/storage.py — load/save/delete functions (accounts.json stores the data)
  • Basic/accounts_window.py — window for viewing and managing saved accounts
• accounts.json — JSON file that stores saved accounts
• img/ — images (optional background)

---

⚠️ Security note

Passwords are currently saved in plain text inside accounts.json. This is not secure for real-world use. Strongly recommended improvements:

• Encrypt passwords before saving (for example using the cryptography library or a master password-based scheme).
• Or use a secure, dedicated password storage solution.

I can help implement a simple encryption layer or add a master-password protection flow if you want.

---

🧩 Suggested improvements

• Add encryption for stored data
• Add a master password for unlocking the app
• Add encrypted export/import functionality
• Add automated tests and package the app into an executable for distribution (e.g., using pyinstaller)

If you want, I can also add an English README.md (this file), create a requirements.txt, or implement an example encryption flow—tell me which and I'll prepare it ✅
