Apple's Passwords app on Mac will soon let you choose when it automatically locks. Spotted by code explorer pdfu, a new menu in macOS 27.3 beta offers one, three, or 10 minutes of inactivity, alongside options to lock when the Mac itself locks or sleeps, or for it to never automatically lock. I n the current macOS 27.2 general release and in earlier versions of Apple's Mac operating system, the Passwords app uses a fixed three-minute inactivity timeout.
