Is Google Chrome Profile Lock safe?
Google Chrome Profile Lock stores its profile-lock password and recovery key reversibly in Chrome synced storage.
When a user sets a lock password, the extension saves the password as Base64 and stores the recovery key in chrome.storage.sync. Chrome sync may replicate that extension storage through the user's Google account, so the lock credentials are not protected like a one-way password hash.
