Tips & Tricks
- Field names are case-insensitive. "Email" and "email" work the same.
- Use common field names like "email", "phone", "name" for better matching.
- Website scoping is smart - a field for "example.com" also works on "www.example.com".
- Test data works great for QA testing and demos.
- All your data is encrypted using SHA-256 key derivation and XOR cipher, then stored locally in your browser - it never leaves your device and remains secure even if Chrome storage is compromised.
