The Chrome extension that stores your API keys with AES-256-GCM encryption, then auto-suggests them when you visit the right site.
Find out which provider your key belongs to and how risky it is if exposed.
Enter only the first 4–6 characters — never your full key.
● We never store or transmit your key prefix. Everything runs in your browser.
Built for developers who are tired of hunting for API keys across 10 different browser tabs.
Your keys never leave your device. We never see them — not even encrypted.
Start free. Upgrade when you need more.
The safest way to store API keys in Chrome is with a dedicated encrypted extension like API Locker. It encrypts every key with AES-256-GCM using a master password that never leaves your device. Avoid storing API keys in plain text files, browser notes, or unencrypted password managers that treat keys as plain passwords.
API Locker is zero-knowledge — your master password is never sent anywhere and there is no recovery mechanism by design. If you forget your master password, your encrypted vault cannot be decrypted. This is a feature, not a bug: it means no third party, including us, can ever access your keys. Write your master password down and store it somewhere safe.
Only if you enable cloud sync (Pro feature). Even then, only AES-256-GCM encrypted blobs are sent — the server never sees your plaintext keys or master password. The free plan stores everything locally on your device only.
Password managers are built for website logins. API Locker is purpose-built for developers: it detects which API dashboard you're visiting and surfaces the right key automatically, supports 32+ providers with their logos, handles multiple keys per provider with labels like "Production" and "Development", and warns you before keys expire.
When you visit a supported API dashboard (like platform.openai.com or dashboard.stripe.com), API Locker automatically shows only the relevant keys for that provider. No searching, no scrolling — the right key appears the moment you need it.
Yes, with the Pro plan. Cloud sync keeps your encrypted vault in sync across all your Chrome installations. Your keys are encrypted with your master password before leaving your device, so syncing is completely safe.
API Locker supports 32+ providers out of the box including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, GitHub, AWS, Google Cloud, Twilio, SendGrid, Hugging Face, Replicate, and many more. You can also add any custom provider manually.
API Locker is available on the Chrome Web Store. Free to install, with Pro features available when you're ready.
