Lock your vault with Touch ID
The vault is where Kamelo keeps your real details. Now you can lock and unlock it from the popup, with one touch.
Picture a laptop at home that more than one person uses. Earlier today you asked ChatGPT to help with a complaint to your bank. Kamelo masked the account number and the names, and kept the real ones in its vault so the answer would come back readable.
Now you’re getting up from the table, and someone else will use the browser next.
Why the vault needs a lock
The vault has to hold your real details. That’s how Kamelo can put them back in the answer. So closing it should take a second, not a search through settings.
What changed
The popup now has it all in one place: a password field, a Touch ID button and a Lock now button. Touch ID opens a small window that asks for your fingerprint and closes itself when it’s done.
Under the hood, a locked vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, a standard, strong kind of encryption. Touch ID unlocks it through a browser feature called WebAuthn. A password goes through 600,000 rounds of PBKDF2, which makes guessing it very slow. Once unlocked, the vault lives only in memory, and it locks again when you close the browser.
Also in this update
Kamelo now works in tabs that were already open when you installed or updated it. No more reloading the page first.
And editable blocks inside AI answers, like the email drafts ChatGPT writes for you, now show your real details instead of placeholders.
Honest about limits
The lock is optional. And the vault stays in this browser only: it’s never synced or uploaded, so another computer or browser starts with its own, empty vault.
Your details, behind your fingerprint.
Since version 1.5.0, masking names and details is part of Kamelo Business. The free extension focuses on Melo, Kamelo’s private chat.
