As people depend more on the internet, cyber and information security becomes a significant area of concern. In recent years, social engineering attack (SEA) has been prevailing and more people fall victims to such scams. This project aims to develop a web application to educate and mitigate potential SEA. The web application is a password manager which safekeeps the user’s passwords. It also has education and evaluation functions in place to measure the user's readiness to defend against SEAs. In conclusion, the projects' goals were met satisfactorily. However, there is still space for further improvement.
