Hi ,

I need to give my laptop for screen repair, its flickering, not going to last long... as I am giving this to a third party, instead of deleting all passwords, I want to set up a quick and secure way so that this person cannot access any banking information from any browsers.

Can I set up a password for passwords or is there a guest login where he cannot access any infomation from my browser?

This is urgent, your quick reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I would suggest to backup the two logins.json and key4.db files that are used to store the logins and remove those file, especially if you do not use the Primary Password. Keep in mind that it isn't guaranteed that they do not reformat the hard drive, so be prepared.
