## Description

**Link Password** is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the privacy and security of your bookmarks and links. It allows you to encrypt individual bookmarks or entire folders using a password, preventing unauthorized access to your secret links.

The extension utilizes AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a robust encryption algorithm, ensuring that your encrypted links remain secure. It uses a custom protocol `ext+linkpassword://` for seamless handling within your browser.

You can right-click any link or folder in your bookmarks to encrypt or decrypt it easily. Additionally, the extension offers a web-based decryption tool accessible from any browser, so you never lose access to your secured bookmarks even if you switch devices.

Whether you want to keep sensitive URLs private or manage secret collections of links, Link Password provides an intuitive and strong security layer for your browsing experience.
