Your tabs are unprotected now.
Every tab you were protecting — banking, email, work — is open to anyone who picks up your device. Putting that back takes about thirty seconds.

Check the replacement does these six
The two things people usually move to instead are a separate browser profile or a tab manager. Neither is built to keep one tab shut while you keep working in the others.

Compare free vs ProNow that it's gone, where is your data?
Worth knowing whether or not you come back.
There is nothing of yours to delete
Locksy has no servers, no accounts and no analytics. It made zero network requests while it was installed, so nothing about your tabs ever left the machine you're reading this on.
Your master password was never stored
Only a PBKDF2-SHA256 hash at 600,000 rounds — roughly twice the 2023 OWASP recommendation — with a random salt unique to your install. It can't be turned back into your password by us or anyone else.
Tabs that were locked when you removed it stay closed
A lock unloads the page rather than covering it, and the extension is what reopens it. Reinstalling protects you from here on, but it can't bring back a session that was locked at the moment you uninstalled.
The full detail is in How your data is handled — or read our privacy policy.
Still stuck on something?
If you left because of a problem, we'd still like to fix it — whether you come back or not.
