Encrypt/Hide sqlite3 database (Tkinter & Python)

Question

I am currently working on a password saving application using tkinter, and I don't want the database to be visible/accesible from the computer's local storage. Is there a way to achieve this with a pre-existing python library, or do I have to pay for a service?

Answer 1

You can try encrypting your database. I'm fairly sure sqlite doesn't offer encryption by default, you might need an extension like SQLCipher.

Answer 2

If you are looking for a password verification system, you could use one-way hashes like Sha256 or a salted algorithm. If you need a password manager, you could use PyCryptoDomex to encrypt the user's password with a "master key" that the user has to remember. Then when you want to fetch a passcode, ask them for the master key again and use it to decrypt the password.

Answer 3

you can use Sqlite3En package or SQLCipher Sqlite3En doc:
