Abstract
This paper focuses on creating a Password Manager which is secure and easy-to-remember. Password managers prove efficient in generating and storing passwords but they were never able to generate passwords that people could remember easily. Our password manager solves this by creating passwords using song lyrics. Instead of generating passwords randomly, our tool will create passwords from the lyrics of the song selected by the user. The passwords generated are checked thoroughly for validity, by using the haveibeenpwned API(data breach checks) and are made secure by making combinations of letters, numbers special characters of the password and suggesting the best secure password from the list.
