Updated August 2026: CloakID is currently in a private design-partner pilot, and onboarding during the pilot is free. This post reflects the current flow.

Starting with CloakID is as easy as adding a plug-in to your browser. There are some key considerations and preferences with popular browsers — the short version: CloakID runs on Firefox today.

The onboarding goes through several stages:

  1. Account creation Authentication icon You will be prompted to create or reuse your sign-in credentials.

  2. Plan activation — free during the pilot Subscription icon Activation currently passes through our billing portal, so you may see a payment-style page along the way. No real payment card is required and you will not be charged — the page provides a test option that lets you complete activation. We know this is confusing; a cleaner flow is in the works. If you get stuck here, contact us or ask in the pilot Discord and we’ll walk you through it.

  3. Start Browsing Browser icon Download and enable the extension, then browse with your protection state visible per site.
