[Description]
SecretLin is a desktop password manager written in Python (CustomTkinter).
It stores logins (site, user name, password) in a local vault protected by
a master password. It can be used to keep the credentials of an engagement
(accounts, found passwords) in an encrypted file instead of plain-text notes.

• Vault encrypted with AES-256-GCM, key derived with Argon2id
• Master password never stored; any change to the vault file is detected
• Growing delay after wrong master passwords
• Automatic lock after inactivity
• Clipboard cleared 20 seconds after copying a password
• Works fully offline (no network access)

[Dependencies]
python3, python3-tk, python3-cryptography (>= 44), python3-pil,
python3-pil.imagetk, python3-customtkinter, python3-darkdetect

Note: python3-customtkinter (6.0.0) and python3-darkdetect (0.8.0) are not
in Kali/Debian yet. I packaged both from the unmodified PyPI sources; the
.deb files are attached to the v1.0.1 release and I can share the debian/
directories.
