Saved passwords: option for timeout/forget during session Topic is solved

[chw9999]

Hi, my Pale Moon sessions tend to stretch (thanks for stability of PM!), with lots of tabs open. During such sessions, I use "Saved Passwords" for quite some sites. Once I submitted my master password during a session, the passwords service will be available all the time until I close and reopen Pale Moon.

Would it be possible to "forget" the Master Password (rather "forget that I typed it in some time ago") after a while, say 10min / 1 h / whatever, or on a defined well-placed button click? Or maybe deletion of a certain file in the profile folder?

However, I might just being paranoid about having the password service available all the time... "Automatically fill in" is disabled, btw!

Thanks in advance!

By design, the master password unlocks the database for the entire session. The security it offers is for local access only and does not in any way compromise your on-line security by being unlocked. Not auto-filling credentials is the correct security measure here; the password/formfill routine and API is not accessible by web content.
If you are concerned about local access to your browser in an opened state then you should make a point to close the browser when you leave the computer, i.e. use computer security best practice.

EDIT: it was pointed out to me that an extension exists to manage the password credentials (including clearing the master password on demand):

Use Master Password+ and in future, look at the addons site or CAA before suggesting new features. This browser isn't total shit like Chrome, current Firefox or their derivatives with just lame web extensions that can't do much beyond modifying webpages and as a result new features end up having to be implemented only by the browser developers, adding to bloat because not everyone needs all those features.

For every brilliant idea or unique workflow requirement you have, chances are high someone has long since thought of it and made an extension for it.
