Please be aware that "Password Lock for Messenger™" is not affiliated with or related to the official Facebook/Messenger website or application. It is an unofficial app developed and maintained independently. The official Messenger software is only released for smartphones and the web.

The extension offers an optional password protection feature that can be enabled or disabled from the right-click context menu over the toolbar button. When enabled, users must pass through password protection before using Messenger.
Additionally, you can change the opening mode from the stand-alone window to the browser tab and vice versa.
