Which browsers
Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Firefox with LibreWolf and Waterfox, on Windows and Linux. Browsers installed as Flatpak or Snap packages can't reach the app, so they can't pair.
One unlock for app and browser
Unlock once. Your browser follows.
Pair the browser extension with Vallkey for Windows or Linux, and the extension unlocks whenever the app is unlocked, and locks when it locks.
How it works
One unlock for app and browser, step by step.
Start pairing
In the extension: Account, then Vallkey desktop app, then Pair with the Vallkey app.
Compare the code
The extension and the app, unlocked on the same account, show the same code. Allow the browser in the app.
That's it
Open the locked extension while the app is unlocked, and it unlocks. Lock the app, and its browsers lock too.
The details
What careful people ask.
Forget a browser
Browsers, under Account in the app, lists the paired browsers. Forget one there, or stop from the extension's side.
One way only
The app unlocks the extension, not the other way round. Your master password still works in the extension.
Not in Safari
Safari reaches only the app an extension ships in, so Vallkey for Safari isn't paired.

Questions
Does this work with the Mac app?
Pairing is for the Windows and Linux app. On a Mac, Vallkey for Safari comes with the Mac app itself.
What if malware runs on my computer?
A program running as you could ask the unlocked app for the key the way the extension does, as it could read the unlocked app's memory. No password manager fully protects an infected device, and we'd rather say so.
