Designing a Secure Password Management System: The SaveAPass Architecture

Abstract

This project introduces a human centered, web-based password manager that prioritizes both security and usability. The application is tailored for non-technical users who often struggle with managing numerous complex passwords, leading to unsafe practices such as password reuse or unprotected storage. By integrating modern frontend technologies and a secure cloud backend, the system enables users to store, retrieve, and manage their credentials easily. The solution applies strong encryption techniques and secure user authentication, ensuring that password data remains protected even in the event of a backend compromise. Unlike existing password managers that may be overly complex or insufficiently secure, this application emphasizes simplicity without sacrificing protection. Its design encourages better password hygiene, aiming to minimize data breaches stemming from weak password habits. The project aspires to set a new benchmark in password management by delivering a safe, accessible, and user-friendly experience for individuals across varying levels of technical proficiency.
