Password Manager Application

Introduction

The objective of this project is to create a password management system and web application, similar to that of LastPass or Bitwarden. Users will be able to generate secure passwords, store passwords and account information in a database that is viewable via a web app, and stored information can then be automatically filled into website forms across the internet.

Features

The following features are currently available in the web application:

Account Creation/Login
Manage Account/Passwords
Secure Password Generation
Import/Export Passwords

System Architecture

This password manager made use of the MERN stack architecture and the major features of each application component can be observed in the following diagram:

Getting Started

Installation and Setup

First make sure that https://nodejs.org/en/ is installed

Clone this repository and install its dependencies

 > git clone https://github.com/burchcATWIT/password_manager.git
 > cd password-manager
 > npm install

Note: Some devices may be incompatible with the fservents package dependencies contained in the package files of the password manager application. As these are not critical packages for site functionality, they can be uninstalled if errors arise during initial installation or during runtime through the following commands:
```
 > npm uninstall fservents
```
Mac users have also reported an error separate from the fservents packages related to the script startup. If using Mac and experiencing a ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED error, run the following command:
```
 > export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
 > npm start
```

Running the Site

In the root directory (and backend if necessary), run:
```
 > npm install
```
If experiencing compilation issues, also run:
```
 > cd backend
 > npm install
```

Running the backend

Navigate to the backend directory and run:
```
 > node index.js
```

Running the frontend

Open a new terminal window and navigate back to the root directory of the manager:
```
 > cd password-manager
```
From the root directory, navigate to the source directory of the application and start the site
```
 > cd src
 > npm start
```
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 and the site should be running
Please reach out to a member of our team (contact information in contributors section) via email if experiencing additional errors that are preventing the site from running.

Other Files

Add a single peice of data

Run script from root directory to add sample password manager data:
```
 > node addonedata.js
```
Respond to the prompts as asked
View new password entry in password list

Add new random data

Run script from root directory to add multiple entries of new password manager data:
```
 > node randomdatapop.js
```
View new password entries in password list
Note: The scripts in this section are for site beta purposes and will be removed in a production environment (i.e.: when the site is publicly accessible)
