What is the "Password Lock for Skype Web" extension and how does it work?

This extension is designed to protect access to your Skype Web account by adding an extra layer of security. After installing the extension, you can set a password and confirm it. The extension then stores the SHA256 hash of the password, which is a one-way encryption method, meaning that the original password cannot be retrieved. This means that there is no way to reset the password unless you reinstall the extension. Depending on your browser, you can write a policy to prevent the extension from being removed by a third party.

How can I change my access password?

To change your access password, you need to enter your current password, then press the "Reset" button. A new field will appear on the screen, where you can enter your new password and its confirmation. Now press the "Change Password" button. It is important to choose a password that you will be able to remember later, as there is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. Please note that this extension does not store passwords for your privacy.

How do I adjust the settings for the extension? What options are available?

To adjust the preferences for the extension, you will need to enter your password, then press the "Options" button. This will open a panel where you can configure how the extension blocks the interface. The options include asking for the password on each new instance or not requiring the password for a certain period. You can also configure the extension to block access after a certain time or when the computer is idle. Additionally, there is an option to adjust the level of blur on the content. You can even disable this feature altogether. However, it should be noted that the content will still be inaccessible unless the extension is unlocked.

How can I prevent this extension from being removed from Firefox and Google Chrome?

To prevent an extension from being removed in Firefox, you can set the extension to be "installed by enterprise policy." Use the Firefox Enterprise Policy Generator, or configure the Firefox Group Policy to install the extension.

In Google Chrome and Edge, the best way to prevent an extension from being removed is to install it as a "forced installation" using the Extension Deployment Tool. This tool allows you to install extensions on managed devices, and prevent users from disabling or uninstalling the extension.
