    facile, pratique et rapide à utiliser et prendre en main. Il empêche l’accès des marques pages sélectionnées et permet facilement de bloquer l’accès à un dossier de marque page avec un mot de passe principal. Juste parfait.

    What am I missing? Using Firefox on a Windows 10 machine and if I encrypt a folder using a password of 123456 and then come back and do another encrypt (without decrypt) using 567890 - the new password overrides the previous password. What this says to me is that anyone can enter their own new password to encrypt and then decrypt with their new password thus leaving my original password useless and exposing my folder.

    Hi.

    You have probable misunderstanding how the Link Password work for muliple encryption of the same bookmark.
    Link Password have two modes for encryption bookmark that already is encrypted (Skip already encrypted bookmarks).
    * Skip encrypting: Then all unencrypted bookmark will be encrypted with the new password and old bookmarks will be encrypted with the old password.
    * Encrypt again: Then all bookmarks will be encrypted with the new password, and if any of the bookmarks was encrypted since before you will have to first providing you new password and then providing the old password.

    This addion is good for use.But if I forget my password, how do I retrieve the password? Another way is to repeat the overlay and set the password. If someone uses my Firefox account to set up another password, what do I do?

    Hi.

    Password is always set when you encrypt bookmarks and can be different for different bookmarks, you can even encrypt already encrypted bookmarks if you want.

    If you forget you password, it is no easy way to restore the bookmarks since the bookmarks is encrypted with a secure encryption algorithm, probable most easy way is to try and try with different password until you remember the correct one.

    Using link password 5.0.4 and Firefox Nightly for Android 61.0a1. When I enter click the dots and then password, I see select bookmark folders at the top of the page and encrypt and decrypt buttons at the bottom. No tree structure of bookmarks. I'll check this on a desktop computer soon.

    Unfortunately this was a function that was remove on the rewrite of Link Password due to Firefox 57.
    I will look if the functionality can be added again in a user friendly way that not make the GUI to a mess.

    Link-password has worked fine for a long time, but suddenly stopped being available when a right click is make, even though it is listed as an active Add-on. I have tried to re-install, but I cannot do so because the page to download says you must download Firefox first. But this is not necessary as Firefox remains installed and up-to-date. Advice on how to install Link-password much appreciated.

    Hi.

    It is a bit hard to know exactly what has happen for you, if you com back with more info (firefox version and Link Password version) we give you more help.

    My guss is you have upgrade the addons or Firefox, since Firefox version 57 I have rewrite the addons and some functionality has be moved to new locations (see screenshots).
    If you running a older version of Firefox (before 57) please install version "Version 4.0.1.0.1-signed.1-signed"

    Ensured my password was correct and now encrypted bookmarks won't decrypt!

    RE: developer response. I can assure you my password is correct - I've tried every possible combination with caps lock/num lock on and off and it's not responding. I was careful to try to avoid something like this, so I'm stumped. Needless to say I'm not happy I've lost all my bookmarks.

    The extension is very good but now it don't work. I have Firefox ESR, the latest version and Link password the latest version: 5.0.1. I have the message when I click on the link ext+linkpassword://... :

    The address wasn’t understood

    Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ext linkpassword) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

    You might need to install other software to open this address.

    Firefox ESR 52.5.0 (64-bit)

    TY for your work in your free time. I'll be patient and when I'll upgrade my ESR to a quantum version I'll Install the new Web Extension.

    5.01 Doesnt works anymore now since latest release with Firefox 56.0 (32-Bit) . There isnt even a Dropdown function anymore to encrypt either Folder or Link. previous Versions worked flawless. There is no entry in the dropdown anymore. I deinstalled and reinstalled the Addon several times. I am using German Version of Firefox.

    Edit 25.11.2017, Version 4.0.1.0.1-signed.1-signed still works with Firefox 56.0.2 (32-Bit)
    Thx for your Info about installing a previous version
    I deactivated Auto update now.
