How to Password Protect Google Chrome

Password Protect Google Chrome Web Browser

Google Chrome is the fastest web browser I have ever used but it has a minor flaw i.e. it doesn’t support password protection, you can’t secure your bookmarks, saved passwords and browser history from family members, co-workers or friends.

I have found these 3 extensions that would help you password protect your Chrome Browser from everyone but you.

Browser Lock Extension

1) Go to Browser Lock Extension Homepage using your Google Chrome browser and click on the “Install” Button.

2) Once the extension has been installed, enter a new password in “Enter New Password” field.

3) Now click on “Save and Lock” button, this would make your web browser password protected, once this is done, close Google Chrome and start it again, the bottom of the browser would “Locked by Browser Lock”.

4) Press ‘”CTRL+SHIFT+L” keys to enter the password and unlock your Google Chrome browser.

Simple Startup Password Extension

1) Go to Simple Startup Password Extension homepage, once the extension is installed click on the icon that looks like a “wrench” which would located on the top right corner of the browser window.

2) Click on Tools –> Extensions –> “Options” link under “Simple Startup Password.”

3) Enter a password in “Enter Password” and click on save button.

4) Once this is done, restart the chrome browser and it would ask for the password before letting you access anything, just insert the password and unlock your browser.

PanicButton Extension

1) Install the Panic Button Extension from its homepage on Google Chrome Tools directory and then navigate to extension via tools in “wrench” icon like in the previous extension.

2) Click the “Options” link under “PanicButton.”

3) Click the drop-down menu under “Password Protection” and select “Yes” to add a new password.

4) Click the red “Panic Button” in order to let all your opened tabs get hidden and if you want to retrieve them you would have to enter the password by which it is protected. Unlike the previous two apps, this one hides your data and opened tabs in case situations of emergency. Pretty useful.
