SiteVault Chrome extension security report

SiteVault helps you keep sensitive browser tabs private — banking, email, work dashboards, and anything else you don’t want open for others to see. Add sites to your Vault, set a 4-digit Master PIN, and SiteVault can lock those tabs automatically when you step away, switch tabs, or reload a page. Locked pages are blurred or covered with a full-screen PIN overlay. Enter your PIN to unlock instantly — no reload needed. ✦ WHY SITEVAULT • Protect tabs you actually care about — not your whole browser • Auto-lock when you’re idle, switch away, or open a vault site • Unlock with a PIN in place — stay in flow without losing your place • Organize vault sites into Site Lists for one-click locking • Child Lock mode for allowlist-only browsing on a shared device • Local-first design — your protection settings stay with you ✦ KEY FEATURES 📍 Vault protection Add any HTTPS site to your Vault from the popup or Settings. Protect exact domains (github.com) or patterns (*.example.com). Enable or disable protection per site anytime. 📍 PIN lock overlay When a vault tab locks, SiteVault shows a clean full-screen unlock screen. Page content is hidden (blur or solid cover). Unlock with your 4-digit Master PIN — or your backup code if you forget it. 📍 Smart automation • Auto-lock on idle (inactivity on the page or system idle) • Lock on tab switch • Lock on page load • Per-site idle timeouts that override the global setting • Unlock duration before a site re-locks 📍 Site Lists Group vault sites into named lists and quick-lock them from the popup. Star up to 3 favorite lists for one-click access. 📍 Child Lock Turn on Child Lock to allow only selected sites on this device. Non-allowlisted HTTPS sites show a block screen with no PIN bypass — useful for shared or family computers. 📍 Security controls • Master PIN with change flow • One-time backup code when you first set your PIN • Max PIN attempts + temporary lockout • Optional tab title masking while locked • Keyboard shortcuts for lock / unlock / add to vault 📍 Popup quick actions See the current tab status, add it to your Vault, lock now, lock all vault sites, and run Quick Lock Lists — without opening Settings. 📍 Analytics (local) Review lock/unlock activity and recent protection events so you can see how your vault is being used. ✦ HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your 4-digit Master PIN (and save your backup code somewhere safe). 2. Add sensitive HTTPS sites to your Vault. 3. Choose automation rules — idle, tab switch, page load, and timeouts. 4. When a vault site locks, enter your PIN to continue. 5. Use Site Lists or Lock All for faster control across many tabs. ✦ PERFECT FOR • Shared laptops and family computers • Banking, email, payroll, and admin dashboards • Working in cafés, offices, or public spaces • Parents who want an allowlist-style Child Lock mode • Anyone who wants privacy without logging out of every site ✦ PRIVACY NOTES SiteVault is built for everyday privacy: casual access, shoulder surfing, and idle snooping. Important: it is not a substitute for full-disk encryption, OS user accounts, or enterprise device management. Someone with full control of the browser can remove or disable the extension, use DevTools, or open another browser. The Master PIN protects vault content and settings inside SiteVault — it does not prevent extension removal. Use SiteVault as a fast, practical layer of tab privacy on top of good device habits. ✦ GET STARTED Install SiteVault → set your Master PIN → add your first vault site → turn on auto-lock.
