  • Patent number: 11496446
    Abstract: Protecting PII submitted through a browser. In some embodiments, a method may include detecting multiple PII of a user submitted to multiple organization websites through a browser. The method may also include encrypting each of the PII. The method may further include storing each of the encrypted PII along with an identifier of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may also include receiving a request to view the PII along with an indicator of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may further include retrieving each of the encrypted PII along with the identifier of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may also include decrypting each of the encrypted PII. The method may further include displaying each of the PII along with the indicator of the organization website to which the PII was submitted.
