Password Lock for Skype™ Web
Password Lock for Skype™ Web is a Chrome extension that enhances user privacy by locking access to the Skype Web. With this extension, users can configure the application to block access when a new instance of Skype Web opens or when the computer is inactive for a certain period of time.
To unlock the screen, users need to enter a master password. The extension only stores the SHA-256 hash of the password, ensuring that the actual password is not stored. This provides an additional layer of protection for the Skype Web platform without interfering with the functionality of Skype itself.
One useful feature of the extension is the built-in blur filter. Users can choose to activate this feature, which prevents Skype's content from being exposed on the screen when not in use. This is especially helpful for users who want to prevent others from seeing their conversations or contact information.
The extension also offers convenient shortcuts for users. By clicking on the action button, users can open a new blocked Skype Web or focus on an already opened one. Additionally, users can assign a keyboard shortcut to quickly block existing instances of Skype Web.
Password Lock for Skype™ Web is an open-source project that aims to improve the privacy of Skype Web usage. It is important to note that this extension is not officially associated with Skype itself.
