How to Lock Google Chrome with a Password on PC
0This video tutorial demonstrates how to lock Google Chrome with a password on a PC using a free extension from the Chrome Web Store. This method is helpful for anyone looking to protect their browsing sessions from unauthorized access—especially in shared or public computer environments where multiple users might have access to the same device.
The process begins with opening the Chrome browser while being signed into your Google account. The next step involves visiting the official Chrome Web Store by typing “Chrome Web Store” in the search bar and selecting the correct link (chrome.google.com/webstore). Once on the site, you'll search for an extension called "Browser Locker" or similar password protection tools.
The video highlights how to identify the correct extension by scrolling through the search results and locating a reliable one with good reviews. After finding it, click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the action by selecting "Add Extension" in the pop-up window.
Once the extension is installed, it will prompt you to create a password. The video demonstrates typing a secure password and saving it, making sure you meet any criteria set by the extension (such as length or special characters). This password will be required every time Chrome is opened, effectively locking your browsing environment.
Keep in mind that this is not a native Chrome feature, and it depends entirely on third-party extensions. These extensions may vary in quality and security, so it’s recommended to read user reviews and check the developer’s credibility before installing.
This approach is especially useful for families sharing one computer, students in shared dorms, or office workers who want to add a layer of privacy to their online sessions without locking their whole computer.
