“Encryption tools are already available on the internet, but for simplicity and my own use, I built one myself!”

I have multiple accounts across different platforms, and each account has a unique password. Remembering all of them is tough!

Earlier, I used a Google Sheet to store my passwords, but I realized that if I ever lost access to it, my passwords could be exposed. That’s when I thought—why not store them in an encrypted format instead of plain text?

To solve this problem, I built a Text Encryption & Decryption Tool using React.js and Crypto-JS. Now, I can securely encrypt my passwords before storing them anywhere!

Key Features:
Supports multiple encryption algorithms

Secure key-based encryption & decryption

Easy-to-use interface with copy-to-clipboard functionality

No server-side data storage—everything runs locally

Tech Stack: React.js, Crypto-JS, Parcel

This project helped me dive deeper into cryptography and front-end security. If you also struggle with managing passwords securely.

give it a try: Live Demo: https://encrypt-my-password.netlify.app

Would love to hear your thoughts! Have you ever built something just to simplify your own life?
