Summary

Quickly and easily lock a bookmark in its original place. Locked bookmarks sync across devices just like normal bookmarks. This extension allows you to password protect your bookmarks so they are kept private, but still allows easy access from the bookmarks bar, as long as you remember your password.

To use this in Incognito mode, you need to enable it first:

  • Go to chrome://extensions
  • Find the extension, click Details
  • Toggle the button "Allow in Incognito" to allow the extension to run in incognito mode.

Warning: no password recovery

[FAQ]:

Q: I have just updated to version 2.0 and my old locked links can't be recognized or unlocked? A: Sorry for the inconvenience. Please don't modify those bookmarks. We have fixed the auto migrate bug in version 2.1. After updating to version 2.1. Go to the Options page (Right click on the icon -> Options) And then use the Manual Migrate feature to migrate those old links.

Good, but unable to lock Folders. Hope to add this function.

Excellent and easy to use. It would be better though, if you could lock a folder rather each individual bookmark. This way, when you unlock the folder, you can see the bookmark names rather than guess which bookmark you are trying to unlock.

Works great, please add an option to encrypt an entire folder.
