🔒 Locksy v3.1.0 Release Notes:

🛡 Privacy Blur Shield (New Feature)
- DOM Element Masking: Automatically blurs sensitive text on web pages (passwords, credit cards, OTP codes, emails, and phone numbers).
- Alt-Tab Page Blur: Automatically blurs the active browser window when focus is lost to prevent shoulder-surfing.
- Privacy Blur Manager: Customize blur levels (Light to Solid), toggle targets, auto-blur categories (Banking, Webmail, Password Managers), and manage domain whitelists.

🔑 Pro License Reliability & Sync
- Separated License Suspension vs. Revocation: Laptop sleep mode or brief offline drops will now temporarily pause Pro mode in the background without wiping your credentials or local settings.
- Settings & Preference Persistence: Stored settings, license keys, and preferences (such as Fingerprint as default unlock) are safely preserved during network drops.
- Auto-Revalidation: Background auto-sync instantly restores Pro status once your internet connection returns.

⏱ Auto-Lock Timer Reliability
- Fixed an issue where the Auto-Lock timer could trigger prematurely after 60 seconds of inactivity when the background worker recycled. Your custom auto-lock duration is now strictly honored.

- Added full light & dark mode theme toggle support for the Biometric Setup and Privacy Report dashboard pages.
- Fixed a bug where "Active Tab Only" privacy blur scope did not trigger.
- Debounced click interactions to prevent duplicate focus lock messages.

LOCKSY v2.7.0 — RELEASE NOTES
July 4, 2026

OVERVIEW
────────
Locksy 2.7.0 introduces Startup Lock — the most requested feature to date.
Your tabs are now locked the instant your browser opens. No waiting, no
inactivity timer. Just instant protection from the very first moment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

NEW FEATURES
────────────

🚀 STARTUP LOCK — Auto-Lock All Tabs on Browser Start
All tabs from your last browsing session are locked immediately when the
browser starts, before you even touch your mouse.

• Triggers on fresh browser start via chrome.runtime.onStartup
• Works with browser "Continue where you left off" session restore
• Smart session guard: only fires once per browser start — toggling off
and back on resets the trigger for the next start
• Skips system pages (chrome://, edge://, about:, file://, etc.)
• Skips already-locked tabs — no redundant lock operations
• Requires a master password to be set
• New 🚀 Startup Lock toggle in the popup settings panel
• Detailed info panel explains the feature and session restore requirement
• Silently skips if no password is configured — no phantom notifications
• Notifications: single summary notification shows how many tabs were locked

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW TO USE
──────────

1. Open Locksy popup
2. Scroll to the new 🚀 Startup Lock section
3. Toggle "Lock on Browser Startup" ON
4. Ensure your browser is set to "Open previous windows and tabs"
   (Settings → Startup → Open previous windows and tabs)
5. Next time you restart your browser, all restored tabs lock instantly 🔒

What's New:

1. Intruder Detection — Captures webcam photos on 3+ failed unlock attempts (stored locally, capped at 50)
2. Quick-Unlock Panel — One-click unlock any locked tab from popup without re-entering password
3. Enhanced Biometric Auth & Domain Lock — Biometric-default preference, visibility-aware auto-trigger (fixes session restore bugs), popup-level biometric unlock

🎉 WHAT'S NEW IN v2.5.0

This release brings powerful new features to make Locksy faster, more private,
and more user-friendly.

prefixes. Lock "youtube.com" once and both youtube.com and www.youtube.com
are protected.

browser idle. Menus now persist correctly.

• STEALTH MODE NOTIFICATIONS: Notifications no longer leak through when stealth
mode is active.
