Bookmark Vault

Protect a Chrome bookmark folder with a password. What's New ----------- 1.0.2 Restore the vault on another computer: press "Restore from Google Drive" (initial setup or Backup storage section) to download the configuration saved by another computer — protected folder, password and Drive backups — and unlock there. Nothing is written locally until the password has been verified. Improvements and fixes. Lock & Hide ----------- Press "Lock & Hide" to: 1. serialize the folder tree 2. encrypt it with your password 3. write the encrypted backup (your device or your Google Drive) 4. verify that the backup was really saved 5. only then delete the folder from your bookmarks Nothing is removed before the backup has been read back and verified. Unlock & Show ------------- Press "Unlock & Show" to download the latest backup, decrypt it and recreate the folder in its original position. If a folder with the same name is already there, the bookmarks are merged into it instead of replacing it. Your password is never stored ----------------------------- Only a small encrypted verifier is saved, and it cannot be used to recover the password. Locking, unlocking and changing the password all work offline.
