1. Password creation and management: Ability for users to create and manage strong passwords, as well as options for resetting or recovering passwords as needed.

2. Access control: Setting permissions and access rights for different users or user groups to control access to protected resources.

3. Encryption: Encrypting sensitive data and passwords to protect them from unauthorized access and ensure the security of the information.

4. Logging and monitoring: Recording activities related to password protection to detect suspicious access and track security breaches.
