Brief Summary

I hope the unlocking method with computing power can be combined with the lock screen unlocking of my Mac. Now that I have unlocked my Mac computer, I have to unlock Keepassxc again, causing trouble with a second unlocking. Although I know this is for security reasons, when my Mac is only used by myself, I hope to be able to use my password manager more conveniently without adding too many steps to increase inconvenience in use. I have observed that 1Password now supports automatic unlocking with Mac, without the need to enter the master password, achieving the form of a manager that can be used immediately after unlocking the computer

Could potentially be done with keychain integration. It's certainly a lot less secure, because the security of your database depends only on the strength of your login password.

I'm not in favor of making that a first party feature. Remembering quick unlock is a good compromise
