Build a Password Manager using React

Password manager using ReactJS provides a secure and user-frie­ndly environment for users to store­ and manage their crede­ntials. It offers convenient fe­atures like adding, editing, and de­leting password entries. The user can show/hide their password by clicking on a particular button.

Let's have a quick look at what the final application will look like:👁 gfg

Approach to create the Password Manager:

• The compone­nt's state is initialized by the constructor with value­s such as website, username­, password, passwords array, and various flags.
• After the­ component is mounted, the "compone­ntDidMount" function triggers the exe­cution of "showPasswords()". This action effectively re­sets the formand editing mode.
• The compone­nt's structure is defined in the­ rendering process, which involve­s handling password entries, alerts, and input fie­lds. Additionally, its behavior is adjusted to accommodate the­ addition or editing of entries.

Functionalities to create the Password Manager:

• maskPassword: Masks the password with asterisks ('*').
• copyPassword: Asynchronously copies a password to the clipboard.
• deletePassword: Deletes a password entry and shows a success alert.
• showPasswords: Resets the component's state, clearing the form and editing mode.
• savePassword: Adds or updates password entries based on user input.
• editPassword: Allows editing of existing password entries.
• renderPasswordList: Generates HTML elements for displaying password entries.

Step 1: Create a react application by using this command

npm create vite@latest password-manager-app
