PearPassHow to Configure Auto Lock
Set the auto-lock timeout to control how long PearPass waits before locking your vault after inactivity, on desktop or mobile.
By default, PearPass locks your vault after 30 seconds of inactivity. Follow the steps below to configure the auto-lock timeout to a different duration.
A longer timeout gives anyone with physical access to your device more time to access your vault without your master password.
Activity in the desktop app keeps the browser extension unlocked, but not vice versa. Mobile auto-lock is completely independent — activity on desktop or in the browser extension has no effect on it.
Available options
| Option | Locks after |
|---|---|
| 30 seconds (default) | 30 seconds of inactivity |
| 1 minute | 1 minute of inactivity |
| 5 minutes | 5 minutes of inactivity |
| 15 minutes | 15 minutes of inactivity |
| 30 minutes | 30 minutes of inactivity |
| 1 hour | 1 hour of inactivity |
| 4 hours | 4 hours of inactivity |
| Never | Locks only when you manually lock it or close the app |
