      Hello,
      Is it possible to add a password protection on specify websites ?
      Let me explain: I have add the web.whatsapp website to my Speed-dial buttons on the computer at my job, but only I should be visiting this website (because it's the whatsapp of my personal phone). Anyone can switch my computer on, the computer is not protected by any password.
      Or if there is another / better alternative for my problem I would be glad to hear that too.
      Regards from Belgium,
      Smirnoff103

        Hi,
        This extension or VeraCrypt may help.

        Back up previously to any test.

        Follow the Signature's Backup | Reset link.
        Take the opportunity to start a Backup plan and even create a Template Profile.

        SyncBack | Synkron helps.

          @zalex108 Hello
          Thanks for your reply, but "Set password for your browser ( Opera lock )" add-on puts a password on Opera itself ? You can't specify for a specific website for instance ?

            There is already a password for WhatsApp - if you're not logged in. Tell Opera never to remember the login, and always remember to log out.

                That seems the behavior, bit will be needed just at the beginning of the session.

                  @Smirnoff103 Best solution would be to remember to lock the screen or logout when away from the computer.

                    @leocg Anyone can turn the computer one (for instance if you're ill or away) so this won't be very appreciated by the colleagues I guess 馃檪
                    But I'm thinking of putting a password on the hole Opera browser with that Opera Lock add-on, and if somebody needs to find something out on the internet just use one of the other browsers that are on the computer.

                      @Smirnoff103 But the person would need to know your password to access your user and see your data.

                        @leocg If another user starts my computer to see something it would very probably be in my email client, not in my browser.
                        It's not the perfect solution, but it's the best so far I suppose.

                          You could also hide the Opera Icon from desktop, appart of the Password.

                              xD

                              If you choose that too, you could complement it:

                              • Use Launchy and run it from it.
                                • Would not work for multiple Opera Profiles.
                              • Delete Opera entry from Start Menu.
