In everyday life, we have many files which we want to safeguard against prying eyes. For that, this paper introduces a vault encrypted with AES to save those important files. Also, with growing internet usage, and usernames and passwords required everywhere, there is a need for a safe vault to store can if the person can forget. A desktop application for this purpose is discussed in this paper. This is a 2-part project, consisting of a secure file value and a secure password manager. The password manager uses a database. The whole of the project is developed in Python, using its various libraries that serve its purposes. Cryptography is another highlight here. But, by only using Python libraries and the functions included in them, this is possible. Extensive coding for only cryptography is not done, it is done using various functions.
