Simple Password Manager

Simple Password Manager is a basic browser extension that allows you to store, manage, and generate strong passwords conveniently. This tool is designed for personal use and helps you keep track of your credentials securely within your browser.

Features

  • Password Storage: Save and manage your credentials (website, username, and password) easily.
  • Password Generation: Generate strong random passwords with the click of a button.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive design for ease of use.
  • Local Storage: All passwords are saved in the browser's local storage for privacy.

  2. Save Passwords: Enter the website, username, and password details to save them securely.
  3. Retrieve Saved Passwords: View a list of all your saved passwords anytime from the extension.

Technologies Used

  • JavaScript: Handles the logic for storing and retrieving passwords.
  • HTML/CSS: Provides the structure and styling for the extension.
