Separating application passwords from web api passwords
I suggest to separate the web api password from the local ui password, i.e. you can enable and disable the local interface password and the web api password separately for the following reasons:
When you open web api access, you may want to block unauthorized access, e.g. you are in home LAN, you don't want your files to be accessed by other people; you are using WiFi in cafe, you don't want to be scanned by other people and attacked.
Currently once I minimize the program to the system tray, the application icon shows up blank and I need to enter a password to access the interface, which is a slight inconvenience. On the other hand, in the local interface, I don't think setting a password is very useful. Because when someone else logs in and accesses your desktop, it basically means that he has access to all the files, and an application password is not an effective way to protect your downloads from being discovered. If you need to prevent your personal files from being accessed on a shared home computer, you should set up multiple accounts and set file system permissions or encrypt disks.
Thanks.
