Click on the extension icon to set a password.
Once you set a password, you can click on the extension icon to have a password popup which appears.
This is great for when you need to step away from your computer for a few minutes and dont want bystanders to look at your computer screen.
You lock your phone with Face ID, secure your laptop with a strong login password, and enable two-factor authentication for cloud services—yet the second you pop out for coffee, your entire browsing session lies wide open on the desk. Tabs filled with email, HR records, banking portals, project dashboards, or social media timelines are a treasure trove for nosy colleagues and opportunistic strangers. A password-protect browser extension closes that gap by letting you lock the entire window instantly, without quitting applications or logging out of every site. Below are concrete benefits that make this small add-on an indispensable layer of “situational security” for modern knowledge workers.
1. One-click lockdown beats full sign-outs Manually logging out of dozens of web services takes precious minutes and introduces friction that most people simply skip. A browser-lock extension adds a single toolbar button that freezes all tabs behind a passphrase or PIN. It’s as fast as pressing the monitor’s sleep button, yet vastly more secure: anyone who jiggles the mouse sees a full-screen prompt demanding the password, not your half-written Slack reply.
2. Session continuity after you return Standard operating-system locks break session flow: after unlocking, you must re-arrange window positions, reopen closed docs, and relaunch paused media. A dedicated browser lock preserves every tab exactly as you left it—scroll position, form data, audio playback—so you resume mid-thought. This continuity is especially valuable for developers running long build logs, analysts working in cloud notebooks, or designers reviewing prototypes in multiple canvases.
3. Protection in shared or hot-desk environments Open-plan offices, coworking spaces, libraries, and university labs all mix trusted teammates with unknown passers-by. A coffee-break that turns into a hallway chat can easily stretch to ten minutes—enough time for shoulder surfers to glance at confidential financials or mischievous friends to post prank messages from your social media. A quick browser lock makes the whole workstation effectively read-only, even if the rest of the desktop remains accessible for public presentations or kiosk apps.
4. Reduced risk of accidental data disclosure Sometimes “snooping” isn’t malicious; a colleague borrowing your chair to print a document might accidentally glimpse sensitive salary spreadsheets or client NDA terms. By locking the browser when you step away, you enforce the corporate principle of least privilege—people see only what they need, nothing more. This is a low-effort safeguard that helps organizations comply with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements for restricting casual exposure of protected data.
