Description

When wandering the site finding people to track, I had to enter my passphrase for each person I wanted to track. It'd be nice to be able to cache my passphrase for a limited time (eg 5 minutes / 1 hour etc.). See LastPass for an example implementation that works pretty well.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate the site flow that asks for a passphrase when tracking a person, then review how passphrases are handled and identify existing security guidance. Done means agreeing on a limited caching duration and validating the behavior without weakening passphrase protection.
