Extension summary

TAKE PRIVACY INTO YOUR OWN HANDS

Easy, end-to-end secure encryption for email, plus real-time chat, that does not rely on servers and is therefore immune to hacking or government intervention. Right now PassLok for Email supports Gmail. Yahoo mail and Outlook online coming next. If you need those (or any other email) right away, check out PassLok Universal.

--PassLok for Email is incredibly easy to use--

To encrypt a message or file, just click the PassLok icon at the bottom of the Compose or Reply box. A popup will take your private message and encrypt it with the click of a button. Then you can send it out like any other message, or as an attachment.

To decrypt it, click the PassLok icon at the top of the encrypted message. A popup will show the decrypted message or file immediately, or will tell you if there is any problem.

PassLok asks you for your Password only once. It can be anything you want, so you can actually remember it. PassLok will evaluate its strength and compensate for its weakness by lengthening the computations. It won't be stored or sent anywhere, and PassLok will forget it after five minutes of inactivity.

If you want to change your Password, go ahead and start using a new one when PassLok asks you for it. You may be asked for the old Password if PassLok can't decrypt something, but otherwise that's all you'll have to do.

--Lots of power in a slender package--
