        abstract = {The Smart Password Manager is a Python-based application designed to help users create, store, manage, and retrieve passwords efficiently. The system addresses common password-security problems such as weak passwords, password reuse, and unsafe credential storage. It uses Fernet symmetric encryption to protect stored password data and maintains encrypted credentials in a JSON-based local data store. The application provides secure master-password login, password generation, password-strength analysis, password search, credential update and deletion, and activity logging. It also includes login-attempt handling and security feedback to improve protection against unauthorized access. By combining password management, encryption, password generation, and strength analysis in a single desktop application, the prototype aims to provide a simple, user-friendly, and secure solution for everyday digital credential management.},
