Verifying Installation

To confirm RedPhish is working:

• Clicking the icon should show your account status and scan statistics
• Visit any website with links and you should see RedPhish scanning them

Permissions Explained

RedPhish requests these permissions:

• Read and change all your data on all websites: Required to scan links and display warnings on any page you visit
• Storage: To cache scan results locally and store your settings
• Alarms: For background tasks that keep protection running smoothly

RedPhish does not collect or transmit your browsing history. Only URLs of links being scanned are sent to our servers, and no logs are retained.

Troubleshooting Installation

Extension Does Not Appear

• Click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions menu) in your toolbar
• Find RedPhish and click the pin icon to keep it visible

Cannot Sign In

• Make sure you are connected to the internet
• Try signing in directly at redphish.app, then click the extension icon
• Clear your browser cookies for redphish.app and try again

Icon Is Gray

A gray icon means protection is not active. This can happen if:

• You are not signed in
• Your subscription has expired
• You have exceeded your scan quota
