Claim:
A method for obfuscating user data in a remote web-based application, the method comprising: receiving user inputs to a displayed web page of the remote web-based application at a first web browser that is used by the user, wherein at least a portion of the user inputs comprise user-inputted data intended to be stored at the web-based application and wherein the first web browser is configured to enable the user to annotate at least a portion of the user-inputted data for obfuscation by the management component; transmitting the user inputs to the management component that is configured to interact with a second web browser that communicates with the web-based application; obfuscating the portion of the user-inputted data at the management component based on the annotating at the first web browser; and forwarding the obfuscated and un-obfuscated portions of the user inputs to the second web browser, which correspondingly transmits the obfuscated and un-obfuscated portions of the user inputs to the remote web-based application.
