Abine Blur Features
Blur’s rich feature makes it possible for users to enjoy a variety of benefits from Abine Blur. Here, I will be exploring some of Blur’s top features.
Credit card masking
Albine Blur’s credit card masking provides an alternative, virtual credit card that masks users' credit card details with an alias to prevent online dealers from having access to users’ original credit card details. The credit card masking works on all payment platforms.Â
This feature is only available for premium users. Premium users get a Blur pop-up on their screen, asking them to mask their credit card. A masked card holds the exact amount users need for online transactions, thus eliminating the chances of padded transactions.Â
Secure Password
Blur’s password manager is my favourite tool for managing passwords. Blur’s robust password manager lets you create, store, and manage your passwords. For every account logged into or signed up, you can choose to let Blur password manager save, or create a new password.
Using the Blur password manager, you only need to worry about creating a memorable and robust alpha password with which you access your password manager. If you can't remember your alpha password, Blur lets you retrieve it using a backup phrase consisting of 12 words, which you're advised to keep safe.
You can manage your passwords from your dashboard and even assign tags. Other things you can do with Blur's password manager include importing passwords from other password managers, encrypting passwords, syncing passwords across multiple devices, and enabling 2FA with Google authenticator or any other approved 2FA.
Email masking
Albine Blur email masking works in similar ways with credit card masking. Blur email masking masks users' email addresses creating pseudo email addresses on sites requiring users' email addresses.
The fantastic fact about using email masking is that Blur lets you tag generated pseudo addresses with descriptions that make it easy to remember the sites where you have used such email addresses.
Users receive messages sent to pseudo email addresses in their real email inbox, and replies sent are delivered via the pseudo email address. Also, users can choose to block email addresses sending spam messages to any of the pseudo email addresses or cancel email forwarding for such pseudo email addresses. Beautiful, isn't it?Â
With Blur email masking, users can protect themselves from email spamming and data theft while enjoying online anonymity.
Block hidden third-party tracker
Blur’s services protect you from third-party cookies and online trackers who collect users’ data either for sale or serve users with tailor-made ads. Installing Blur's browser extension prevents trackers and third-party advertising cookies from harvesting users’ data.
Abine Blur browser extension is compatible with commonly used browsers, including Firefox, Microsoft Edge browser, Google Chrome, Opera Browser, etc.
AutofillÂ
You enjoy faster auto-fills with Blur. Blur fills in Logging details, email addresses, credit card details with masked identities, and generated passwords faster than you can remember, or type.

Is Abine Blur Safe?
Albine Blur is safe to use. Abine does not share users’ information with third parties except when served a valid court order. Also, Abine Blur does not have access to passwords stored on Abine Blur password manager. This is because users' passwords are encrypted locally on their devices before it is transferred to the Abine server for storage.
However, users can choose to store passwords locally on their local devices, but they risk losing their passwords if their device gets stolen or damaged, except if users have an up-to-date backup plan for their local devices.
