🔒 LockURL - Password Protect Links

Netlify Status‎ ‎ Buy Me A Coffee‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

LockURL is a utility designed for encrypting and decrypting URLs. When a user visits an encrypted URL, they will be prompted to enter a password. If the password is valid, LockURL will route the user to the original URL; if not, an error message will be displayed. Additionally, users have the option to add hints that will appear next to the password prompt. Each encrypted URL is contained within a link generated by the program, giving users complete control over the data they create with LockURL. Importantly, no data is ever stored on the server.

🚀 Features

  • Encrypt URLs with a password for secure access
  • Add optional hints to guide users
  • Customizable encryption settings
  • Fully client-side: no data stored on servers
  • Brute-force recovery tool for lost passwords (use with caution)

🛠️ How to Use

  1. Visit LockURL to easily create a secure, password-protected link for your content.
  2. Adjust encryption settings, randomize initialization vector & salt for enhanced security.
  3. Share the generated link. Recipients need the correct password to access the original URL.
  4. Losing the password makes recovery nearly impossible. Try the brute-force tool if needed.
  5. If you encounter untrusted links, decrypt safely using the homepage’s decrypt option.

⚠️ Security Notes

  • Randomizing the initialization vector and salt is recommended for maximum security.
  • Brute-forcing is slow and not guaranteed to recover lost passwords.
  • Disabling randomization may create vulnerabilities.
