I want to Close Password Manager at times during the day

Is there a way to "close" password manager? It stays on when I hibernate, so it's not secure to walk away.

It "opens" when I enter my "Master" PW. Nice. But I cannot command it to "Close" during my session. I have to Shut Down in order to turn off PW Manager and have a secure computer. This is not something that is convenient for me.

Password manager stays on when I Hibernate. Or Sleep.

You can cancel a Primary Password prompt like you get when you copy or view a password on about:logins to re-lock the logins.

Thank You!! This works!

I get there by clicking the "hamburger" in the upper right of my window and go to Passwords. Then when I copy or view a password on about:logins it DOES re-lock the logins.

Safe at last! Thank you!!
