Having to enter password 2 times is kinda annoying, first to open the app and second time when you want to change/view something in the settings.

well, this is to make sure someone doesn't come and grab your recovery phrase nor change your settings while you are away.
@KeeJef do we want to just ask for it when showing the recovery phrase instead and change/delete the password?

Yeah settings probably don't need to be behind a password prompt, i think this should just be for showing the recovery phrase

Easy enough then. We just want it for the login screen and the recovery phrase dialog

KeeJef pushed a commit to KeeJef/session-desktop that referenced this issue Oct 9, 2023
Most app settings are less sensitive
than the content of one's messages,
and therefore do not require password protection.

This commit removes password protection from
the settings view. This also dampens the UX impact
of the misleading 'Message Requests' entry among
settings categories, as the settings view
is closed and locked upon navigation to the entry.

Sensitive app settings are addressed in later commits.
