i wanted to share a feature request
only when setting vault timeout to never, is there no demand for pincode/password when closing/opening browser.
however, if i choose 4h timelimit, and close/open browser within that timelimit, im still asked to enter pincode.
feature:
implement an extra optional setting beside vault timelimit where we could checkmark:
no need for pincode/password within selected vault timelimit.
Did you read my comment in your other thread, in which I explain why using the “Never” timeout option is the only way to waive the password/PIN requirement on browser restart?
I read it. Still want this feature.
I believe proton pass has it.
I think the closest feasible approximation to what you’ve asked for here is a vault that behaves like the “Never” timeout (i.e., vault data will exist in an unprotected form on your device until you explicitly lock the vault), but with apps checking some kind of expiration timestamp whenever the app/browser is restarted, and then forcing the app to lock on restart if (and only if) the timestamp has passed.
Thus, the security of your data will depend on how often you restart the app or browser. For example, if close the app or browser at 12pm after having set a 4-hour timeout, then the key that decrypts the vault cache will remain unprotected until the first time that you restart the app or browser after 4pm (whether this is at 4:01pm or 3 weeks later).
