Anki Password Lock

Anki Password Lock is a minimalist privacy add-on for Anki.

When Anki opens, the usual decks screen stays hidden until the correct username and password are entered. The interface is intentionally simple and clean, with a centered login card and no extra clutter.

Default Login

Example default credentials:

  • Username: kwuiltsusername
  • Password: kwuiltspassword

On first successful login, the add-on requires the user to replace both defaults before Anki becomes usable.

Features

  • Locks Anki before the main window appears
  • Requires both a username and password
  • Forces the default login to be changed on first use
  • Lets the user change credentials later from the add-on menu
  • Includes a password reset flow for forgotten credentials
  • Keeps the design very minimalist and distraction-free

Password And Recovery Rules

This add-on is designed so that forgetting the password does not reveal the old one.

  • Normal credential changes require the current password
  • Forgot password mode is only for when the user truly does not remember the password
  • Resetting creates a new username and password instead of showing the old password
  • A recovery key is used for reset
  • The old password is never displayed back to the user

Security

  • Changed usernames and passwords are not stored in plain text
  • They are stored as secure salted hashes
  • Failed attempts can trigger a temporary lockout
  • Recovery data is also protected instead of being stored openly

Important Note

This add-on is a strong local privacy lock, but it is not absolute anti-tamper protection.

If someone has full access to the computer and the add-on files, they may still attempt to disable or modify the add-on itself. It is best described as protection against casual access rather than something impossible to bypass.
