You can already add Proton Pass as an extension, and achieve the same functionality, minus the singular point of login.

It would not have any integration with your Vivaldi account, so you would have to use your own Proton account.

You can download it from Proton's website.

The password would be to launch the PWA application. If the password was successful, the PWA would open to the built-in URL of the PWA.

Let’s just use Gmail as an example. Say I created a PWA to launch Gmail. I’d like to password protect the PWA so that someone who sits at my laptop can’t just open Gmail and start reading.

Sure, I could log out of Gmail each time so that they’d have to have the Gmail password, but that’s a lot more work for me.

Hey @DoctorG
Thanks for the quick update. Then only the manual add button would actually be the requirement in the request. Because saving via the (existing Chrome page works in Vivaldi). A direct way would certainly be helpful for some users.

@iAN-CooG
I never thought syncing was necessary. Without syncing and using many Vivaldi installations, I would die. 🙂

Cheers, mib

is UserScript.

@yngve said in Why do I need to set an encryption password?:

That you think you can afford to lose that data will only be correct if you truly have no data of significance. If so, you are probably the only person in the world who can say that.

Thanks for the reply.

I get this and even have a password manager. Imagine that if I'm suffering from severe password fatigue, what it's like for more average users.

@Catweazle said in See passwords without screenlock:

In WWindows you need the OS Password to see the Passwords in Vivaldi. Protecting the Passwords is way more important in a Mobile, becaus it's way easier to lose it or they steal it. Deadly when the thief above has access to all your passwords which are in clean text in your device.
I think the small annoyance of having to enter a pin to see them is better than having them metaphorically on a Post-It stuck on the screen, nothing to do with a "horrible design".

youre misunderstanding me. im for some security for password-database access.

but not phone screenlock, thats something personal.

I have the same issue on Android. Is that a matter of some setting of mine, or chromium-based password managers cannot replace the Android/chrome one?

@Louiseianab Seems to be a duplicate request. You had not found this by forum search? https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24238/master-password-protected-mode-to-protect-your-profile/1
Vote with the Thumbup buttonin the mentioned thread.

@LordLorio Private tabs must lose their data when the browser crashes - the whole point is they don't store data anywhere.

Maybe you could consider setting up a separate profile, that way you can keep your sensitive tabs away from your main tabs, and you could create a second sync account.

@harshavst I fear not. Vivaldi is not connect-able to google account services (at browser level) and I suspect password manager is. But you can export password (if are locally stored) from chrome to vivaldi with export/import features.

@abcpeak see https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/import-and-export-browser-data/#Import_Passwords

To import passwords from .csv file:

Type “vivaldi://password-manager/settings” into the Address field.
In the Import passwords section, click on Select file.
Choose the .csv file with your passwords.
Click Open.

In my personal phone when I click on the eBay app I login once and that it, for my personal PC I need to login frequently even If I click on keep me logged in option. Banks app uses the system authentication on the phone to automatically login.
So, what I am advocating for is that Vivaldi (maybe after a warning to the users) allows the user the option to log in automatically to site I chose.

If I visit a site that requires log-in in and Vivaldi has the log-in information [Log me in automatically] whenever possible or find a way to keep the connection alive … so you’re never logout.

@shadowleaf15 You guess correctly. Chromium and thus vivaldi encrypt several data with machine/user ID so is not real portable. No plans to implement that I know. Most profile folders are simply not decryptable if you plan to re-use the profile on another machine/user.
