Project Name: `passwordEncrypter.py`
Created by: Coderip & JBandzCode

📖 Overview

passwordEncrypter.py is a simple yet powerful script designed to securely encrypt and decrypt passwords. This standalone Python file is ideal for anyone looking to protect sensitive data with minimal setup.

🔑 Key Features

AES-256 Encryption: Uses AES encryption to secure passwords.
Password Hashing: Adds an extra layer of security with hashing.
User-Friendly CLI: Interact with the script via a command-line interface for encrypting and decrypting passwords.

🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites: Make sure Python 3.7+ is installed.
Install Dependencies: The script requires the cryptography library.
```
pip install cryptography
```
Download the Script: Clone the repository or download the passwordEncrypter.py file.

🚀 Usage

Basic Commands

Encrypt a Password

To encrypt a password, run:
```
python passwordEncrypter.py --encrypt
```
You will be prompted to enter the password you want to encrypt. The script outputs the encrypted version.
Decrypt a Password

To decrypt an encrypted password:
```
python passwordEncrypter.py --decrypt
```
Enter the encrypted password, and the script returns the original password if authenticated.
Generate a Strong Password

Use the --generate option to create a random strong password.
```
python passwordEncrypter.py --generate
```

🔐 How It Works

AES Encryption: The script uses AES-256 to securely encrypt passwords, ensuring they are safe from unauthorized access.
Master Key: Protects your passwords with a unique master key, allowing only you to decrypt stored information.
Password Storage: Encrypted passwords can be stored locally in your preferred file or environment.
