Link Lock
Link Lock is a tool for adding a password to a link; in other words, for encrypting and decrypting URLs. When a user visits an encrypted URL, they will be prompted for a password. If the password is correct, Link Lock sends them to the hidden website. Otherwise, an error is displayed. Users can also add hints to remind them of the password.
Each encrypted URL is stored entirely within the link generated by this application. As a result, users control all the data they create with Link Lock. Nothing is ever stored on a server, and there are no cookies, tracking, or signups. View on GitHub for more information, including translated versions.
Link Lock has many uses, for example:
- Store private bookmarks on a shared computer - Password: avocado
- Add a password to shared Dropbox or Google Drive links
- Implement simple CAPTCHAs
- Encrypt entire pages (via URL Pages) - Password: urlpage5
- Post private links on public websites
- Share password-protected torrents and magnet links - Password: torrenting_is-legal!
