ENCRYPTO: A Reliable and Efficient Mobile App for Password Management

Passwords and weak secrets are frequently used as cryptographic keys in security protocols. Despite users’ attempts to secure their data with system passwords or other measures, these protection schemes can create a false sense of security. Windows desktop passwords can be easily breached by third-party boot-up programmers, giving access to all files on a drive partition, and tools exist to crack passwords for most applications. A more reliable approach is to use an encryption utility to protect the contents of a storage device, which makes it incredibly difficult for unauthorized parties to access data files. This paper introduces ENCRYPTO, a proposed password manager application that employs the 128-bit advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm. In this application, the user can edit the password at any time with the unique key. No one other than the developer can access the unique key which is present in the source code. A security analysis is also conducted to assess the strength of the proposed application and compared its time complexity analysis to existing standard password managers’ applications such as UniPass, LastPass, and StrongPass. Overall, ENCRYPTO offers a secure and robust password management solution.
