Description

Keybase requires a auto logout timer if it ever can be considered a serious option for secure communication, having your KBFS mounted 247 if you forget to logout, letting anyone see your messages on a communal PC, preventing snooping on your phone.
This program is amazing but without a logout timer i cant use it.
