Pwd protect app

Suggestion: make this app more secure by adding an option to a personal PIN/password when the user wants to access the authentication codes. For example: If I leave my machine unlocked, another person can access account information when clicking the authenticator app.

If you set a master password (menu-security), and uncheck "Remember passphase", personal password will be asked when you launch Chrome each time. However, there's a bug when you uncheck "Remember passphase" and I'm working on it.

@Sneezry it doesn't appear to be working as you describe. When I set a passphrase it only asks me for it once. Regardless if I select "Remember passphrase". When I restart the browser I'm never prompted for the passphrase again. Is this another bug?

Additionally, I would want this app to be password protected either every time the app (popup) is opened or after certain time (eg. after 5 minutes).

Willing to contribute some dev time to this since this is an extremely helpful tool but in order to upkeep the desired security measure of 2FA you need to have that secondary factor not be so easily accessible IMO. All this should be configurable of course.
