If you share your PC with other people, you can make a user account for yourself on chrome.

But you need to make sure that other user accounts are also present in Chrome or else others may not be able to use Chrome at all.

It is also the safest way as there are no external third-party software or app involved.

Add the LockPW Free extension from the Google Chrome Web Store.

Media Hint Chrome Free Extension That

LockPW is a free extension that can be added to Chrome from the webstore.

Click on the link above to go to the extension page on the store.

As of August 2019, the extension has a 4-star rating from 188 users and has over 38,000 active users.

Many of the previous extensions that were made available on the webstore were found to be useless.

So that nobody will be able to snoop into your browser even when the PC is offline without any internet connection.

Remember that this extension is just to prevent users who have physical access to your PC or Laptop from prying.

This cannot protect you from the service providers or any potential hacking threats.

For this, you would have to go to the extensions page and press the allow in incognito mode button.

Clicking on the options menu takes you to the screen shown in the picture above.

You can also provide a hint if you forget the password at some point.

Make sure not to take the hint that you type in is so obvious that whoever lives with you would be able to decode the password easily.

If you enable the quick click option, you can lock the browser without closing it by pressing CtrlShiftL.

You can also set the maximum number of failed attempts at typing in the passwords and the actions that follow.

If someone types the password wrong more than the set number of times, the browser will either close, clear its history or open an incognito window.

If you accidentally hit the tabs without typing in the password, the entire browser shuts down.

You will also not be able to open any other software before typing in the password or the browser will automatically close.

This bug is expected to be fixed soon as many have already made the admin aware of this minor flaw of this most amazing extension.
