Description
In this course, we're going to build a password manager inspired by popular applications like 1Password and LastPass. Our application will enable users to create secure accounts, allowing them to store login credentials for their favorite websites. These credentials will be easily accessible through a Chrome Extension, powered by a secure, robust JSON API from our Rails backend.We'll begin by creating aRuby on Rails 8, Full-stackweb application. Leveraging the power ofHotwire, we'll create a lightning-fastSingle Page Application (SPA). We'll also take advantage of advanced Rails 8 tools such asActive Record Encryption, ensuring sensitive user information like usernames and passwords are securelyencryptedand safely stored in our database.

Next, while workingin the same Ruby on Rails 8 web applicationwe'll start building out a secure JSON API, implementing user authentication usingJSON Web Tokens (JWT). Users who successfully authenticate will receive an expiring token to securely fetch their data through subsequent requests.

Finally, we'll use theGoogle Chrome Extension APIandHotwire(yes, you can use Hotwire outside of Rails!) to build a similar version of our web application as a Chrome Extension. We'll cover essential topics such as using local storage, communicating between the Popup and Content Script, retrieving URLs from active tabs, and automatically filling login forms with a single click.
