PearPassHow to Configure Auto Lock
PearPass automatically locks after 30 seconds of inactivity, requiring you to re-enter your master password to regain access. Follow the steps below to adjust this timeout to suit your needs.
A longer timeout increases the time during which someone with physical access to your device could access your vault without your master password.
Activity in the desktop app keeps the browser extension unlocked, but activity in the browser extension does not keep the desktop app unlocked. Mobile auto-lock is managed separately.
