About FaceGuard

FaceGuard helps protect ordinary browser pages when you step away from your computer. Using your webcam, FaceGuard periodically checks whether the enrolled owner is visible. If recognition repeatedly fails, FaceGuard covers supported browser pages with a lock screen. The emergency password can be used to regain access. Key features: • Continuous owner face recognition • Ten reference samples for different face angles • Adjustable recognition sensitivity • Adjustable camera-check interval and failed-check limit • Automatic protection across supported Chrome tabs and windows • Movable detection-status indicator • Optional low-frame-rate camera preview • Quick protection on/off control • Password-protected unlocking • Seven-day free trial • Monthly and yearly FaceGuard Pro subscriptions Privacy: Face recognition and camera-frame processing happen locally on your device. FaceGuard stores numeric face descriptors rather than enrolment photographs. Camera images, face descriptors, emergency passwords and webpage content are not uploaded to Syns Digital. FaceGuard uses Supabase for account authentication and licence status, and Stripe for subscription billing. Important limitation: FaceGuard protects ordinary HTTP and HTTPS webpages. Chrome internal pages, the Extensions manager, other applications and the operating system cannot be covered by a Chrome extension. Face recognition may produce false matches or false rejections and should not be treated as a replacement for operating-system security.
