Simple encrypted password and notes manager

Timeline

I suddenly remembered that light mode users existed and flash banged myself after toggling the Windows 11 light mode on. Some quick CSS later and now you can actually read the information in light mode. I still would recommend using dark mode though.

Added creating new vaults and opening them using the password. The creation and validation of vaults took a while because I was using the debug build but it should be faster once built on release mode. I'm think of allowing the user to use less iterations for the encryption algorithm, now it is at 600,000 iterations, but that might be a little much for some lower end computers. By allowing the user to choose how many iterations of the encryption algorithm they want, the user can choose between speed and security. Now, I will work on the password insertion and retrieval itself.

Added the vault creation page. The password is used to derive the encryption key so once a password is added to a lock, the original password will be required to decrypt the vault once again. Now the backend is being worked on to integrate the old vault system with the GUI.

Mocked up a draft of the opening page. This will be a desktop GUI and maybe Android GUI for a password manager that I have already made previously. The original tool only supported one file and it was only CLI with no proper GUI. This application will expand the features of the password manager by making it easier to use by providing a proper GUI along with additional features like markdown notes now that I'm making it in Tauri.

The screenshot below is a mockup of what the opening page will look like. Each file will essentially be its own vault with its own passwords and data. Additionally, these files are self encrypting so they can be transferred across devices and the only thing required to own them are the passwords that are used to encrypt them.
