What is Google Keep Encryptor?
Google Keep Encryptor is a Chrome extension that encrypts your Google Keep notes. Utilizing the Stanford Javascript Crypto Library, it secures your notes with industry-standard AES algorithm, adapting 128, 192 or 256 bits. It also provides SHA256 hash function, HMAC authentication code, PBKDF2 password strengthener, and CCM and OCB authenticated-encryption modes. It enhances password protection against rainbow tables and ensures message authentication. Beware of irreversible data loss should you forget your password, hence password hint usage is advised.

Extension summary

With Google Keep Encryptor, you can easily keep your sensitive information on Google Keep only with you and/or share it with your trustworthy friends. Your text will be encrypted as ciphertext with Stanford Javascript Crypto Library (http://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/sjcl/).

SJCL is secure. It uses the industry-standard AES algorithm at 128, 192 or 256 bits; the SHA256 hash function; the HMAC authentication code; the PBKDF2 password strengthener; and the CCM and OCB authenticated-encryption modes. Just as importantly, the default parameters are sensible: SJCL strengthens your passwords by a factor of 1000 and salts them to protect against rainbow tables, and it authenticates every message it sends to prevent it from being modified.

WARNING: If you don't remember the password, you will lose all the information on that encrypted note!!!** It's strongly recommended to use password hints as labels or add them to the title of your encrypted notes.

Android and iOS: Currently the Chrome mobile app doesn't support extensions. In order to decrypt your notes, you have to install the Tampermonkey script on your phone and use the Google Keep website on mobile browsers.

Lost all my passwords because the extension doesn't have a recovery pathway. How can I contact the developers? Isn't there really no way to recover it? HORRIBLE!
