PasswordSentinel is a demonstration project intended for educational purposes. While I do my best to implement modern security practices including AES-GCM encryption, users should be aware that this is not intended to be a primary password management solution. For sensitive data, please use established, professionally audited password managers.

• ✅ AES-GCM 256-bit encryption for stored passwords
• ✅ Secure key generation using Web Crypto API
• ✅ Protected local storage with encryption
• ✅ Secure error handling for cryptographic operations
• ✅ Modern password strength evaluation

• Encryption key stored in browser local storage
• No master password protection yet
• Client-side only security implementation
• Password generation uses Web Crypto API but could be further strengthened
• No automatic session timeout

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability within PasswordSentinel, please follow these steps:

1. Do Not disclose the vulnerability publicly until it has been addressed.
2. Send details of the vulnerability to johnlemargonzales@gmail.com
3. Include the following information:
   • Type of vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fixes (if any)

• Acknowledgment of your report within 48 hours
• Regular updates on the progress of addressing the vulnerability
• Credit for responsible disclosure (if desired)

• 24-48 hours: Initial acknowledgment of report
• 1 week: Assessment of vulnerability
• 2-4 weeks: Implementation of fix (depending on severity)
• Post-fix: Public disclosure and credit (if appropriate)

When using PasswordSentinel, please follow these security guidelines:

1. Do not use this tool for storing highly sensitive passwords
2. Regularly clear your browser's local storage
3. Use a secure, up-to-date browser
4. Be cautious when using on public or shared computers
5. Enable your browser's security features
6. Keep your operating system and browser updated

• Encrypted local storage using AES-GCM
• Master password protection
• Secure key generation
• Secure clipboard operations
• Auto-clear clipboard
• Session timeout
• Export/import encryption
• Password strength evaluation
• Secure error handling

• Algorithm: AES-GCM (256-bit)
• Key Generation: Web Crypto API
• Storage: Encrypted data with IV in local storage
• Error Handling: Graceful fallback with secure error messages

• Character set customization
• Minimum length enforcement
• Strength evaluation algorithms
• Visual strength indicators

Currently, PasswordSentinel uses minimal external dependencies:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Web Crypto API (built-in browser feature)

This security policy may be updated from time to time. Please check back regularly to stay informed of any changes.

For security concerns, please contact:

• Email: johnlemargonzales@gmail.com
• GitHub Issues: For non-sensitive security discussions

This security policy is adapted from standard security policy templates and modified for the specific needs of PasswordSentinel.
