Muragala is a password manager designed to make managing passwords easy and secure. My goal is to make it a secure and reliable password manager available in the public domain for everyone to use. Privacy and security is for everyone, this is the core value behind this project. It uses Fernet encryption to encrypt passwords and store them on a database. It uses two factor authentication with a password and randomly generated salt to encrypt the database. The application is built to be as simple as possible to make sure it's secure. On the other hand, this project is an experiment to see how to make a better security application.
Please note that I am still learning and this project has also been a way to expand my knowledge. Any suggestions, issues and ideas are more than welcome. On the other hand, this application is still in its alpha phase. Therefore please don't use it solely for personal usage. It might have severe bugs and issues regarding functionality and security.
- Muragala C# Library - This module is the core of the application.

When application is opened for the first time, the application will request you to setup a new database. In order to proceed, you must enter a new password. In order to proceed, the password must be at least Normal.
*NOTE: Make sure to remember this password as in order to decrypt the database, you are required to have the salt and password with you. In addition to this, you can also backup the credential file in case of an emergency. How to will be discussed below in .
Password Setup
Everytime you start the application, a prompt asks for the master password in order to list the platforms and users under them. Here, you can enter the password and click on Authenticate. If you need to recheck the password, click on the eye icon. If you do not need to enter the password while using the application, you can click on the padlock icon. However, note that you must enter the password everytime you need to do something if this is not done. On the other hand, enabling this leaves the application open for access when it is open.
Entering the Password
This will take you to the Dashboard. The dashboard lists all the passwords you have saved in the database. Loading the database takes time. You can check the progress on the status bar. Clicking on a platform reveals the usernames registered under it. Hovering over the usernames reveals the options for that username: edit and delete. Clicking on the refresh button refresh the list again. If you need to search for a keyphrase, type in the search bar. Clicking on the padlock will stop remembering the password. The New Password option allows a new password to be added to the database. Settings button will take you to the settings page while about page takes you to the about page.
Dashboard
The new password dialog allows you to add a new password to your database. Clicking on the New Password button on the dashboard opens this option. Under this, you must specify the platform and username that this new password belongs to. The application will generate a random password automatically for your convenience. In case you need to enter your own password, you can easily do this by entering it in the password textbox. The number of characters slider allows you to specify the length of the randomly generated password. The four toggles below this correspond to lowercase characters, uppercase characters, numerals and special characters. Enabling or disabling these will include or not include each one respectively. The overall strength of thee password is shown towards the right of the length slider. Click on refresh to generate a new random password. Clicking on the copy button will copy this password to the database.
