Chrome extension installation

Install LocaleVault for the demo

LocaleVault is distributed as an unpacked Chrome extension for this hackathon demo. It is not yet a Chrome Web Store listing.

1. Download the release

Download and unzip the latest LocaleVault extension release. The release includes a checksum so you can verify the downloaded artifact.

Open latest release

2. Load it in Chrome

Open chrome://extensions.
Turn on Developer mode.
Select Load unpacked.
Select the unzipped folder that directly contains manifest.json.
Pin LocaleVault from Chrome’s Extensions menu, then open its Side Panel.

3. Try the safe demo

In the Side Panel, select Create demo vault.
Open the Demo Hub and choose a flow to test.
For the ambiguous form, review the Precise Fill preview and approve only the fields you want to enter.

Demo safety: use only the fictional Demo Vault data. Do not enter real passwords, addresses, or personal information. This hackathon MVP has not received a production security audit.

Troubleshooting

If the Side Panel does not appear, click the LocaleVault toolbar icon after pinning it.
If a page is not detected, reload the page after loading the extension.
Use the Demo Hub first; it is the supported environment for this MVP.
