MetaEncryption

Introduction

Thank you for using MetaEncryption! This extension's purpose is to protect vulnerable metadata generated by your web browser's password manager. That is achieved using cryptographic libraries built in the extension, and encryption practises considered to be the industry standard, so a high level of security and performance is expected and guaranteed.

Instructions

1. Use the "Encrypt" button to open the file selection dialog
2. Traverse to "C:\Users\<username>\%AppData%\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"
3. Select the "Login Data" file to encrypt - if your browser in synced to your Google Account, then repeat above steps for "Login Data for Account" file
4. Choose save location for encrypted files
5. Replace said files with the encrypted ones into above directory
6. Upon restarting Chrome, or needing to access the database again, use "Decrypt" button to open the file selection dialog
7. Repeat the same process to select and decrypt the above files, choose save location, and then replace the encrypted ones with them back in said directory

Changing Encryption Key

The extension comes with a predetermined, default key to use for encryption - for security purposes, it is highly recommended to change it to a user-specific one to ensure integrity of your data.

WARNING - Ensure that anything you have previously encrypted has been decrypted back before changing your encryption key, otherwise the data will become completely inaccessible, even to its' own user.
