```

## Todo

- Refactoring of existing APIs
- Functionality of deleting records by appname or user - Completed
- Generate password feature
- Import and Export of Data
- Better Documentation
- Providing an API interface for passvault
- Improvement in Encryption & Portability of Password Vault
- Support for Clipboard
- Testing

**Better to have features:**

- Password expiration notification/reminder
- UI for pypassvault
- Cloud Backup & Sync of Vault File
