This extension lets you take Honorlock proctored online exams using the Google Chrome browser. This is a single purpose extension.
Honorlock’s automated proctoring solution requires no logins and no scheduling. No longer will students need to schedule a time in order to take an online exam. The whole point of taking online courses is that you can complete them on your time and at your pace. Honorlock will always put the student first and strive to be as invisible to the student as possible.
Honorlock Automated Proctoring Highlights:
* Honorlock will only monitor you during your exam session. Once your exam is completed, you can remove the Honorlock extension with no issue.
* We gather as little personally identifiable information as possible. The information we do gather has never and will never be shared or sold to any third party.
* When first installing the Honorlock Extension, Google Chrome will ask your permission for the access and features we need in order to effectively monitor your exam session.
Speaking of permissions, here are the permissions we require to use the Honorlock extension, but most importantly, why we require them:
* READ AND CHANGE ALL THE DATA ON THE WEBSITES YOU VISIT
* The only reason we need this permission is to allow your professors the ability to block non-exam sites from being accessed. On the professors exam settings dashboard, they are able to choose which sites their students can and can’t visit during the exam session. Other than this, we do not remove or make changes to any websites you visit.
* COMMUNICATE WITH COOPERATING WEBSITES
* During your exam session, Honorlock may need to send and request data from the learning management system in order to ensure the exam is being proctored as the instructor intended.
* CAPTURE CONTENT OF YOUR SCREEN
* When required by the respective exam instructor, Honorlock uses a video streaming service to capture the students screen. You will be made aware when this feature is being used in the exam, and you will be prompted to share your screen. We will never capture any students\' screen without their knowledge and consent.
Honorlock is SOC 2 Compliant and has been awarded the SOC 2 Certification. To achieve this status, you need to adhere to the following Trust Principles:
* Security: Secure against unauthorized access. Implement systems and tools to prevent security breaches.
* Availability: Ensure the Honorlock service is available and operation.
* Processing Integrity: Ensure the Honorlock service delivers the needed data when requested.
* Confidentiality: Only authorized individuals are able to access the data gathered by Honorlock. In addition, this data is purged according to our data retention and disposal policies.
* Privacy: In addition to following our Privacy Policy, Honorlock adheres to the criteria set forth in the AICPA’s generally accepted privacy principles. We gather the least amount of PII as necessary and purge the data we do gather in a timely manner.
All Honorlock employees are required to complete several Cyber Security and PII training seminars and courses. Honorlock undergoes regular audits to ensure compliance. Needless to say, we take the security and privacy of our users very seriously.

- Very annoying when it makes my laptop crash out when trying to start online exams.

- Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Honorlock since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for this extension at this micro-instant. For this. Hate. Hate.

- Never had ANY good experiences using honorlock. Almost every time, my exam/quiz would time out and or have issues regardless with any "help" with the ai proctor.

- Won't let me enable it, even after deleting and redownloading like 5 times.

- I will open this by saying that Honorlock does work as a proctoring Software, HOWEVER there are major problems with how the proctors communicate problems to you and what the program wants you do to. This next segment is my experience with the program. 1. I was first stopped on my exam due to having an application open that wasn't allowed by Honorlock (even though when it preformed a check on my device it said all programs were shut off and/or closed). It was only after I requested significant clarification that I was told the illegal application was the iTunes store on my MacBook. My complaint here is why am I being punished for something your program should close if it's a problem. 2. I was also stopped for problems with my 360 Room scan, which the program itself said was fine. I was asked to reperform the room scan TWICE, all the while I had to wait for my proctor to convey this slowly. In the end he wanted a block of wood I had on the far table from where I was sitting to be removed from the testing environment (IDK either). My problem here is why didn't you ask me to redo the room scan and the initial attempt and not have me redo it on my own test time. 3. In regards to how messages are conveyed on honorlock, initially they won't send specific instruction on what exactly they wanted changed, but rather this copy-and-paste message that gives a general idea of the problem but not exactly what to change, and was only given exact instruction after asking repeatedly for clarification from the proctor. Overall: Does the program work? Yes. Does it work well and is it optimized? Absolutely not. Moving forward, It'd be nice to be given the exact issue that is wrong rather then a copy and pasted message which doesn't give me the exact solution to my problem, especially when all this is happening on my test time as the exam isn't paused during a break. Also please update the program so that any program that may cause problems are brought up and closed so that I don't have to find and close said program, again while this is on my time. In my personal opinion Honorlock makes lockdown browser look good, with all of its problems.

- This should be deleted as an app, it crashes constantly and has caused me to fail quite a few tests due to technical issues. Professors and teachers should avoid requiring this. Setting students up for failure through sabotage, shame on you.

- Honorlock Review (During Testing Experience): My experience with Honorlock during a timed exam was extremely frustrating and disruptive. While I was actively taking my test, the proctor repeatedly interrupted me in a way that felt excessive and, at times, harassing. What made the situation worse was the lack of clear communication. The proctor continuously changed the stated reason for the interruptions and did not clearly explain what policy I was allegedly violating. When I requested clarification or escalation, no supervisor information or meaningful guidance was provided. This interaction lasted over 10 minutes, which significantly impacted my ability to focus and perform under timed conditions. That is unacceptable in a testing environment where every minute matters. I believe Honorlock should review and better train its staff to ensure professional, consistent, and transparent communication with test-takers. Based on this experience, I will be filing a formal grievance, as this was not only disruptive but also unfair to my testing performance.

- Blueberry Gaming
- This is.. INCREDIBLY invasive. I don't want random people staring me and my computer screen down while I try to take a final exam, it just makes me feel anxious. The proctors can literally pause your exam and waste your time over the most mundane stuff like wanting you to quit applications you have open, applications that YOU CANNOT ACCESS BECAUSE THE EXTENSION PREVENTS YOU FROM CLICKING AWAY FROM GOOGLE CHROME. A browser extension should not have that much control over a personal computer. Oh, and additionally, the extension doesn't even work that well, sometimes I can't access my exam because the extension won't take me to it. If i could give this 0 stars, i would.
- Freshta Hashimi
- very bad
- Riley Stechschulte
- Makes taking exams a nightmare. I've been trying to access my exam for 30 minutes and Honorlock will NOT let me. I wouldnt recommend it to anybody. If you care about your mental health stay away from this.
- Batman
- A very bad and untrustworthy service. Teachers are better off using Lockdown Browser. You will have to reopen a lot of tests with the number of glitches this application has. The staff is kind though
- Jansen Hawkins

- Very bad

- I don't even care that the program sucks, the proctors suck more. They stopped me in the middle of a test, of which I hadn't taken my eyes off the screen once, to rescan the room. They then made me move an desk organizer, which is not light or easy to move, off my desk. Made me close programs that were apparently running on my system which I couldn't even see because I WAS TAKING MY TEST. Repeatedly asked me to move papers, of which there were none, off my desk. Turns out she was talking about a paper that was 5 feet to my left on another table that I couldn't even see. Hopefully the way I did things got my point across because I was ready to cuss her out even if it made me fail me test. Hope the proctors enjoy their power trips.

- horrible ai tool

- I don't understand how this is disabled.

- Uncomfortably invasive of your privacy because there's an actual live proctor watching you take your exam. They'll stop your exam and message you if you have extra tabs or windows open and even comment on where you're taking your test, asking to see the room you're in. That's how one of my quizzes got stopped because they wanted to see the "table" I was working on and asked if I could move into a room with one since I had my laptop on my lap in my bedroom. I wish professors would use Proctorio/Secure Exam Proctor instead.
- Andrea Leon
- Never wants to open up to let me take my tests. I have to wait an hour just for support to give me the same instructions over and over again until it eventually wants to open the authenticator to let me take the test.

- Its just too extreme, got flagged for the smallest stuff- why does this even bother existing when Lockdown browser already exists and acomplishes the same task
- Jack Roberts
- doing too much
- Laynee Rowley
- When I try to take a test It never works on my computer. Very unresponsive and unreliable.
- breeana freyre
- Terrible, constantly glitching which is super bad if you are taking a test, it closes me out to every reaction of noise. Plus it invades your privacy.
- Adrian Kusch
- Least obvious data harvesting scam
- Cindy CL
- yeah it sucks
- YTiDrxpz

- E C (Sir)
- This app is worse then madame web.
- Lucas Kovacevich

- Olivier Casimir
- This thing is so trash I enable this on chrome and it still dose not work for me I even emailed my teacher and she says i need to download it which I did and it still wont let me take the exam this is so annoying Im going to fail this class over something i can not control this is so annoying would give this 0 stars if I could on the verge of telling this teacher to use a different extension.
- serena lin
- worst app ever award. would give 0 stars if i could

- For those who are having issues with accessing HL due to a message telling you to install the extension, when it has already been installed, then you go through the steps to install it again and it says it's inactive and you need to enable it and you aren't able to get through: I found something that might help. I went into "Manage Extensions" and disabled my other extensions. After toggling the other extensions off, HonorLock allowed me to toggle is on and enable it again. One of the extensions I toggled off was another proctoring tool I had to use for another class I'm taking at another school. So, maybe that can help someone/ Key Troubleshooting Steps: -Remove Conflicting Extensions: Specifically, check for and remove extensions like Proctorio, ProctorU, or Examity, as these commonly cause interference. -Clear Cache/Cookies: Go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData in Chrome, set the time range to "All Time," and clear "Cached images and files". -Enable Permissions: Ensure Chrome has permission to access your microphone and camera in your system settings. Update Chrome: Verify your browser is up to date by clicking the three vertical dots, selecting "Help," and then "About Google Chrome". -Create a New Chrome Profile: If the above fail, create a new, clean user profile in Chrome, install the extension, and try again

- Jumped through every hoop to get this to work just so it can spy on my personal information and my living space, probably even as I write this.
