#1303 Options - Security Lock DB after setting not retained

[Thomas Murphy]

I am running v3.37.01 (g01afe45) but this has been occuring on previous versions i had intalled as well. In Options - Security - I set "Lock password database after" to some value other than the default of "5" but this always gets reset back to the default. Sometimes the setting is retained for days but today it has reverted every time i have tried to reset it (5 times so far today). I have tried multiple entries: 60, 90, 120.

This is a database preference is different values can be saved in different databases. Therefore, after changing this value. PasswordSafe should prompt you to save the database on closinh it or exiting the program. If it doesn't, then this may be the reason it isn't saved. Also ,if it isn't, try chaning an entry (adding a space to its Notes field for example) and so forcing a database save.

Please report back if this solves the issue. Of course, the underlying bug will still need resolution.

Thanks for the response however I have tried forcing a save after making this change already and still experience the reset.

I have also seen this reset within 10 - 15 minutes of making the change while I am still actively working (desktop did not lock).

Thanks
