Feature Request: Optional Pin/Biometric Lock after initial password sign-in

[Saijin-Naib]

Current Status
Currently, one has to put in the password every time the extension locks, or the browser is closed/re-opened.

With a randomly-generated password of 128 characters (Upper/lower case letters, numbers, symbols) this is incredibly tedious to type, and storing it anywhere else accessible is a huge safety/integrity risk.

Feature Description
The BitWarden extension, for instance, supported optionally adding a device-local PIN (and/or Biometric) lock after initial setup, so that unlocking the extension wasn't as difficult, and security could be maintained.

Additional context
This would align with BitWarden UX, and to an extent Mozilla FireFox.

This sounds similar to this: marius-wieschollek/passwords#353 . Are you referring to Passkeys/USB sticks/Windows Hello etc.?

[Saijin-Naib]

As an additional option, yes, as well as an option to be able to use a 4-character or longer numeric PIN.

Indeed a simple PIN quick unlock would be enough to secure the addon after some small time.
