Extension 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.
