The study was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 online due to the COVID19
global pandemic. The purpose of the research was to develop a user-friendly password
manager extension for Google Chrome using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for the user
to easily manage their usernames and passwords. Safe Word is a centralized password
management solution that stores sensitive information such as website credentials, credit cards,
and notes in an encrypted vault. The user will register using an email account which will also be
used to verify the account. The password manager extension also requires a strong password
called the master password to access the vault. It is hashed by crypt, based on Blowfish
Algorithm with an optional, encouraged, two-factor authentication via SMS or email. The user's

sensitive information will be encrypted so that it will be safe from cyberattacks. 100 casual non-
technical users of Google Chrome Browser and 10 technical users who have an IT/CS-related

profession evaluated the system. According to the overall evaluation, the system was marked
Excellent in software quality criteria such as functionality, usability, reliability, maintainability,
portability, and user-friendliness, and Very Good for efficiency. The researchers concluded that
the study would be a great way to organize a password manager for users who easily forget
passwords and other credentials.
