Someone else should hold this password.

Hand the computer over. Whoever sets the password here can keep the block list standing when the person using this browser would rather it did not.

Read this before you type anything. There is no reset link, no support email, and nobody at Noahlot can recover it. The password is stretched and stored as a digest on this computer only. Lose it and the recovery code both, and the only way out is removing the extension from chrome://extensions.

01The password

Pick something the other person will remember and the browser's owner will not guess. Six characters minimum, longer is better.

Password

  Type it again Your name, optional

02How strict

These are the settings the owner will not be able to change without you.

Pause before the password box appears No pause 30 seconds 1 minute 2 minutes 5 minutes

The pause does most of the work. An urge to check one site rarely survives a minute of staring at a countdown.

How long one password entry stays good 2 minutes 5 minutes 15 minutes 1 hour

Lock the settingsThe block list, categories, keywords and schedules cannot be edited without the password. Lock the pause switchBlocking cannot be switched off without the password. Allow one-site exceptionsWith the password, a single blocked site can be opened for a few minutes without unlocking everything. Turn this off and every exception has to go through the settings page.

Write this down now.

This is the recovery code. It works anywhere the password works, and this is the only time it will ever be shown. Print this page, or copy it somewhere the browser's owner cannot reach.

 

Closing this tab without saving the code is not recoverable. If that happens, remove the lock with the password and set it again to get a fresh one.

This install is locked.

01Change the settings

Enter the password to open a settings session, then edit anything from the settings page.

02Remove the lock

This clears the password and the recovery code and leaves every block rule in place. Setting a new password afterwards issues a new recovery code.

Remove the lock

03What has been happening

Every unlock, every exception, every wrong guess, newest first.
