Description
LockMyTab is a powerful browser tab lock extension that protects sensitive websites and private information with a secure PIN. Designed for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox users, LockMyTab allows you to lock individual browser tabs using a 4-digit PIN, preventing unauthorized access when someone else uses your device.
Whether you are handling confidential work data, personal accounts, or private browsing sessions, LockMyTab helps you maintain control and protect your online privacy.
Lock Browser Tabs with a Secure PIN
LockMyTab allows you to lock any browser tab using a simple 4-digit PIN code. Once a tab is locked, its contents remain protected until the correct PIN is entered.
This feature helps prevent others from viewing sensitive information when you step away from your computer or share your device.
Common use cases include:
• protecting banking or financial websites
• securing work dashboards and internal tools
• hiding personal emails or messages
• protecting private browsing sessions
Automatic Tab Auto-Lock
LockMyTab includes an automatic idle timer that re-locks protected tabs after a period of inactivity. This ensures that sensitive content remains protected even if you forget to manually lock the tab.
The auto-lock system helps maintain security by automatically protecting tabs when:
• you step away from your computer
• your browser remains idle for a period of time
• you forget to relock a previously unlocked tab
This feature provides continuous protection without requiring constant manual action.
Full Content Masking for Maximum Privacy
When a tab is locked, LockMyTab uses a secure blur overlay screen to completely hide the page content. This prevents anyone from viewing, copying, or interacting with the information inside the tab.
The masking system ensures that:
• page content is visually hidden
• text cannot be copied or selected
• page interaction is disabled until unlocked
This keeps your sensitive information secure from accidental viewing.
Selective Tab Security
LockMyTab allows you to lock only the specific tabs you want to protect without affecting the rest of your browsing session. This means you can continue browsing normally while keeping important pages secured.
Benefits include:
• lock individual tabs instead of the entire browser
• protect specific websites or services
• maintain normal browsing performance
• avoid unnecessary interruptions
Quick Keyboard Shortcut
LockMyTab includes a convenient keyboard shortcut that allows you to lock the current tab instantly.
Simply press Alt + L to activate the lock feature on the active tab. This makes it easy to secure a page quickly when stepping away from your device.
Secure Recovery Keys
To prevent users from getting locked out, LockMyTab provides three recovery PIN codes during the initial setup process. These backup codes allow you to regain access if you forget your main PIN.
The recovery system ensures that users can safely access their protected tabs without losing control of their data.
Clean and Modern Lock Screen Interface
LockMyTab features a minimal and modern lock screen interface designed to integrate smoothly with your browsing workflow. The clean layout ensures that the security screen remains simple, professional, and easy to use.
The interface is designed to provide:
• distraction-free tab protection
• fast unlocking experience
• clear PIN entry interface
• smooth visual integration with browser tabs
Why Choose LockMyTab
