Browser vault extension with fixed timeout

Hello Bitwarden Community,

Currently with Browser vault extension, the timeout doesn’t work in several cases:

  • if we open the extension’s “pop-up” window the Vault doesn’t Lock/Disconnect, as the Bitwarden extension is considered active until the “pop-up” window is closed.
  • if we open new window or tab in the web browser without using a password, Bitwarden considers this an activity.

And in a corporate environment, for the security of our passwords and the passwords of our users, we are proposing a new feature for Bitwarden.

The aim of this feature is to be able to configure the lockout/logout delay in any situation.
The only factor that has to enable locking or logging out is the fixed timeout.

Best Regards,

BENOIT Adel
