パソコンを起動してすぐにchrome開いてもパスワード保護されていない。わざわざ設定画面でパスワード保護をオンにしないと機能しない。これでは保護になっていないので意味がない。今すぐに改善してほしい。

При входе в профиль Хрома он не запрашивает пароль и профиль не блокирует. Можно войти в профиль и потом заблокировать его вручную, но это как-то неправильно. Версия 2.1.1

Moim zdaniem najlepsze rozszerzenie, jednak po aktualizacji po dziś dzień nie działa prawidłowo na Opera.
