Overview

cipher-craftt is a versatile Python package designed for advanced password management. It includes functionalities for generating and managing passwords, checking password strength, tracking password expiry, and securely sharing passwords. This initial release provides a robust set of features aimed at enhancing security and ease of use for developers and end-users alike.

Features

• Password Generation: Create strong, random passwords with customizable parameters for length and character types (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters).
• Passphrase Generation: Generate secure passphrases from customizable word lists.
• Password Strength Checking: Evaluate the strength of passwords to ensure they meet security standards.
• Password Expiry Checking: Track and check if passwords have expired based on user-defined time periods.
• Entropy Calculation: Compute the entropy of a password to gauge its randomness and strength.
• Password Obfuscation: Apply different levels of obfuscation to passwords to enhance security.
• Data Breach Checker: Verify if a password has been involved in known data breaches.
• Secure Password Sharing: Encrypt and decrypt passwords for secure sharing using cryptographic methods.
• Password History Management: Track and limit the history of passwords used, and ensure previously used passwords are not reused.

New Features

• Password History Management: Track and limit the number of stored passwords, and check if a password has been used before.
• Data Breach Checker: Check if a password has been exposed in known data breaches.
• Secure Password Sharing: Encrypt passwords for sharing and decrypt them securely.
• Entropy Calculation: Calculate the entropy of passwords to evaluate their strength.
• Password Obfuscation: Add obfuscation to passwords to make them less recognizable.

Enhancements

• CLI Improvements: The command-line interface now supports new features including password history management, data breach checking, and secure password sharing.
• Dependency Management: Added cryptography library for encryption and decryption functionalities.

Bug Fixes
