Password Protect Google Chrome

  No comments

Do you use Google Chrome as your preferred web browser? If you do, there may be a need for you to password protect the information in it. Simple Startup Password is an extension from the Chrome Web Store ready to fix this need. Adding a password extension for Chrome that will not let you do anything until the password is entered will let you rest easier. While Simple Startup Password will work for Multiple Chrome profiles very well, read on to get an idea about how it works.

Steps to be Done ::
  • You Have To Install Simple Startup Password Plugin to Chrome.New Page Will Open,Click On “ADD TO CHROME” From Top Right Corner!
  • Chrome Will Pop Up A Window,Click On “ADD“. Plugin Begins It Installation.
  • After that we have To Setup Our Password.To do this, you will need to click on the “Tunning” icon in the top right corner of your Chrome browser window.Now Navigate To Tools->Extensions!
  • You will see the list of all of your installed extensions. Scroll down and click the Options link next to “Simple Startup Password“.
  • Enter Your Password In Box And Click On “Save“.Remember If You Forgot Password Then There Will “Not Any Forgot Password” Field To Gain Access To Chrome!
  • PopUp Box Will Open Saying That “Your Password Was Safed!“
  • Done,Now Restart Your Chrome Browser,At This Time,It Will Ask For password.If you enter the wrong password in a couple of times, then the browser window closes.

For Multiple user Profiles:

For those of you who use several Chrome profiles, you can install Simple Startup Password on each profile. When a new profile is opened, you will need to enter the password for that Chrome profile.A possible workaround may be to have a generic profile without any password protection. Before each user closes the browser, they could switch to the generic profile for the next user.

Bug:
  • Application Can’t Encode Password Into Dots OR Asterisk While Entering Password To Gain Access In Chrome!
  • If You Fail To Enter Correct Password To This App,It Directly Closes Chrome Browser.There Is No “Try Again” Option Available!
  • When Chrome is opened, it will automatically open the with the profile that was last used. There is no option to change profiles until the password for the active profile is entered. So if your brother exits out of Chrome while logged into his profile then leaves, you cannot use your profile without his password.
