Description

The Standard Notes app has a setting for the app to lock the moment it is not the active app. It would be nice to have this for KeePassDX as well.

Also, the idle timeout setting should not be changeable if not logged in to the database. The way it currently is, someone with access to the phone could increase or turn off the idle timeout without the database owner knowing. Next time the owner unlocks the database, they may assume it will autolock after a few minutes. It doesn't and the other person has full access if they are able to access the phone again..

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the app-focus locking and idle-timeout settings, then verify both requested behaviors: lock when the app loses focus and prevent changing the idle timeout while logged out.
