Password Protect Your Chrome Bookmarks Using Hush Extension
We surf on the internet and we save amny websites in and as bookmarks. This bookmarks are accesible from the Bookmarks folder. But sometimes there are some wites which we have saved in bookmark but dnt want other to access it. You have to either save it somewhere in the notepad or somewhere else. But that won't be a good way. To help this, Chrome has came up with an extension using which you can secure your bookmarks.
Hush extension is a secret stash for your bookmarks. It’s an extension made for bookmarks you want to save in Incognito mode because it lets you password protect the links you save. The saved links are not saved to the default bookmarks manager. The extension works only in Incognito mode and that’s actually a bit point of worrying because user will always like to use the default bookmarks manager.
Lets see how this work:
Note: I was unable to see the Reset or Change Password optoin, so make sure you set a strong one that is easy for you to remember.
Other Operations:
1. To save a link, click the padlock icon in the URL bar, enter the password, and then click Bookmark.
2. To view all bookmarks, follow suit but click View All in the end.
3. From the bookmarks manager, you can save a link by clicking the Add Bookmark button, you can rearrange the bookmarks you’ve already saved, delete a bookmark, or edit it.
To import or export bookmarks, hover the mouse cursor over the cog wheel next to the password field and select either the Import or Export option.
The extension exports secured data and you must know the password you set in Hush to be able to view it. Likewise, only secure data can be imported to Hush.
I think overall this is a good extension. But the only thing of not able to change the password or resetting the password is a drawback. And the good part is that, since you need to enter the password even to save a link, no one other than yourself will be able to save a bookmark to it.
