Password Protection in Google Chrome

 

Open your Chrome browser and navigate to the Chrome experiments page by entering the URL “chrome://flags” in the address bar.

Once you are in the experiments page, search and find “Enable new profile management system.” Now select the option “Enable” from the drop-down menu.


Once changed, click on the “Relaunch Now” button appearing at the bottom of the screen so that the changes made will take effect.


After you relaunch, you will see a small drop-down menu on the upper right corner of the Chrome window. Simply click on that menu and select the option “Lock” to lock the Chrome browser.

Once locked, Chrome will close the window and display all the user profiles (if any). To relaunch your current session, select your profile, enter your Google account password and press the Enter button.

While the Chrome browser is locked, others can still use the browser as a guest user by selecting the option “Browse as Guest” located at the bottom left corner. You can also add users by selecting the option “Add person.”
