Multi-Language Support

The extension supports multiple languages for both:

1. Dialog Detection - Recognizes "Stay signed in?" dialog in different languages
2. UI Translation - Settings popup displays in your browser's language

Supported Languages

• English (en) - Default
• Ukrainian (uk) - Complete support

Adding a New Language

To add support for a new language (e.g., Spanish):

1. Add Dialog Patterns

Edit languages.json and add the language code with patterns:

{
  "en": { ... },
  "uk": { ... },
  "es": {
    "dialogText": ["Mantener la sesión iniciada", "mantener la sesión iniciada"],
    "checkboxText": ["No volver a mostrar", "no volver a mostrar"],
    "yesButton": ["Sí"],
    "noButton": ["No"]
  }
}

2. Add UI Translations

Create _locales/es/messages.json with all translated strings:

{
  "extName": {
    "message": "Entra ID Auto Confirm",
    "description": "Extension name"
  },
  "extDescription": {
    "message": "Maneja automáticamente el diálogo 'Mantener la sesión iniciada?' de Microsoft Entra ID",
    "description": "Extension description"
  },
  ...
}

Copy the structure from _locales/en/messages.json and translate all values.

That's it! No code changes needed. The extension automatically:

• Loads and uses the new language patterns
• Detects the browser's language and shows the appropriate UI

Language Detection

• Dialog patterns: Checks against ALL languages simultaneously
• UI language: Uses browser's UI language (falls back to English)

Privacy & Security

This extension is designed with privacy as a top priority:

• ✅ No Data Collection - Zero telemetry or analytics
• ✅ No External Communication - All processing happens locally
• ✅ Minimal Permissions - Only requests storage (for settings) and access to Microsoft login domains
• ✅ Open Source - All code is transparent and auditable
• ✅ Local Storage Only - Settings are stored using Chrome's sync storage (encrypted by browser)

Permissions Explained

Permission	Reason	Usage
storage	Store your preferences	Saves your "Yes/No" preference and checkbox setting
host_permissions	Access Microsoft login pages	Detects and interacts with the "Stay signed in?" dialog

Uninstallation

Remove Extension

1. Navigate to chrome://extensions (or your browser's equivalent)
2. Locate "Entra ID Auto Confirm"
3. Click Remove
4. Confirm removal

All settings will be automatically deleted when the extension is removed.

Troubleshooting

Extension Not Working

Problem: Dialog is not being handled automatically

Solutions:

• Verify Developer Mode is enabled in chrome://extensions
• Check that the extension is enabled (toggle should be blue/on)
• Open console (F12) and look for [Entra Auto Confirm] messages
• Ensure you're on a supported Microsoft login domain
• Try reloading the extension (click the reload icon in chrome://extensions)

Settings Not Saving

Problem: Changes to settings don't persist

Solutions:

• Ensure you clicked the "Save Settings" button
• Check for a success message after saving
• Try closing and reopening the settings popup
• Check browser console for storage errors

Dialog Still Appearing

Problem: Dialog appears despite the extension being active

Solutions:

• Microsoft may have updated their page structure
• Check console logs to see if the dialog was detected
• Verify your organization hasn't disabled the "Don't show this again" option
• Report the issue with console output for investigation

Wrong Button Being Clicked

Problem: Extension clicks the opposite button

Solutions:

• Open the extension settings popup
• Verify the "Dialog Action" setting matches your preference
• Click "Save Settings" to ensure changes are applied
• Reload the login page and try again

Technical Details

Architecture

• Content Script Injection - Runs on Microsoft login pages only
• MutationObserver Pattern - Efficiently watches for dialog appearance
• Chrome Storage API - Syncs settings across devices (if signed into Chrome)
• Event-Driven - Minimal resource usage, only active when needed

Implementation Highlights

• Multiple fallback selectors for robust dialog detection
• 30-second timeout prevents indefinite observation
• Single execution per page load (prevents duplicate actions)
• Configurable delay before button click (default 1 second) for reliable page interaction
• Fully configurable behavior through settings UI (no code modification required)
