- Rated 4 out of 5by figarobet, 2 days agoThe idea is really good, and it’s clear that a lot of effort went into developing this browser extension for Mozilla. However, it still needs some work. For me, the password simply doesn’t work - it won’t accept either my own password or a generated one. Maybe it has something to do with the encryption, but I’m not sure since I’m not a programmer. The project itself is really promising. I’d definitely buy a paid Pro version, but only once the password issue is fixed.
P.S. I installed the extension on an Android smartphone (Unihertz Jelly Star) running Android 13, with Mozilla Firefox version 154.0.Developer response
posted 4 hours agoHi there! Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for mentioning your device details (Unihertz Jelly Star / Android 13 / Firefox) — it was tremendously helpful!
You were right: on Firefox for Android, a missing background communication link was preventing the extension from verifying entered passwords, making all passwords appear rejected. However everything was fine for desktop versions.
We are happy to let you know that this has been completely resolved in the new Locksy v3.4.0 update! We built a dedicated compatibility engine specifically for Firefox on Android so password verification, PIN unlocks, and auto-locking now work seamlessly.
Please update Locksy to v3.4.0 in Firefox Add-ons, set up your password, and give it a try. If it works great for you now, please let me know at vanshsethi.me@gmail.com or here only!
Thank you again for helping us make Locksy better! 🔒✨ Developer response

Thanks for your valuable feedback, it helps us making Locksy better everyday!- Rated 5 out of 5by antus, 6 months agoThis is a good extension. I've been using it on a PC at my work for several months now without any problems. There was a glitch on my home PC at some point and I had to delete the extension because the password wouldn't pass. I'm using this extension again now.
But remember, you can bypass the extension by deleting it from the browser. So it's better to detach it from the toolbar to hide it (it's a weak protection, but better than nothing).
Thanks to the developer! This is the best I could find to prevent access to sites with personal or potentially sensitive information without installing additional software on the PC.Developer response

Glad to hear the extension has been useful for you!
Regarding your point — you're absolutely right that removing the extension can bypass the protection. Unfortunately, due to browser security policies, extensions cannot prevent themselves from being uninstalled or fully lock access at that level.
