Issue: Security Weakness

[AyushKumar55]

Local storage is easily accessible by client-side scripts and therefore just saving the login credentials there is not safe. Better security add-ons and changes will be appreciated.
Thank You!

Hello @AyushKumar55,

We can use a Master Password.
A master password to unlock and view the passwords. This way, even if someone gains access to the local storage, they won't be able to decrypt the stored passwords without the master password.

Here’s a simple outline of how this can work:

• When the user first visits the site, prompt them to set a master password.
• Use the master password as part of the encryption key for each password.
• Prompt the user for the master password each time they want to unlock their stored passwords.
• Encrypt the master password using a hashing algorithm (e.g., SHA-256) to avoid storing it in plain text.

Kindly assign me this issue under Hacktoberfest 2024.
