24 alternatives to PageLock
Hey HN! I'm the creator of PageLock. I built this because I kept running into situations where I needed to share sensitive URLs (private docs, beta links, etc.) but didn't want to trust a third-party service with the data. How it works: - Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption using Web Crypto API - Your password and original URL are encrypted in the browser before storage - Zero-knowledge architecture - None can decrypt links without the password - except someone manages to break AES-256 :0 - Pure frontend (React + TypeScript), no backend database The key insight: by doing encryption…

Google’s recent announcement of a proposed ‘Device Bound Session Credentials’ feature[1] for Chrome reminded me of a project we worked on last year at my company. We focus on fraud prevention at signup and login (preventing multi-accounting and account theft), but some customers were concerned about post-login security and asked us to add a session hijacking prevention feature to our fraud prevention API. In the end, we decided to just implement a solution in Javascript. We call it session-lock, and it can be used today across all browsers[2] and, theoretically, native mobile apps. For a…

I've had issues saving bookmarks on my computer since my girlfriend always uses it. I'm talking about engagement ring related bookmarks, birthday plans related bookmarks, etc. My buddy and I built an extension called Hush that allows you to save them behind a password of your choosing. They're encrypted using SHA-256/AES, and you can export/import them to your liking (in case someone accidentally uninstalls the extension). It only operates in private browsing for security reasons. Check it out and let us know what you think! Chrome link:…

Hey everyone, English is not my native language. This post was polished with AI, but the content is mine. I run a small dev agency in Germany. Every week someone shares database credentials, API keys, or a .env file via Slack or email. Not because they don’t care: because there’s no frictionless alternative. Vault setups are heavy. Enterprise tools are expensive. I just needed: upload → share link → done. But encrypted before leaving the browser. So I built SecretDrop.dev. What it does Files encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 600k iterations) Built entirely on WebCrypto No…

So the main purpose here is to show _a_ way that session-token theft can be mitigated. Clearly, this isn't NSA proof or something you'd use to secure a BL5 containment facility, but to prevent session-jacking; if feels like it could help a lot, and would be pretty quick and easy to roll out if an IDP wanted to implement it.
