PearPassHow to Configure Auto Log-out
By default, PearPass locks after 30 seconds of inactivity and requires your master password to unlock. You can change this timeout to control how often PearPass asks you to authenticate.
A longer timeout increases the window in 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.
