Mildly annoying: re-enter pin code on browser refresh #105

timoxley commented 10 years ago

Need to enter pin code on every refresh, is a tad annoying.

I've learned the refresh button in the UI does what I want, so maybe could teach user this new behaviour: If you detect a user just refreshed, give them a reminder in form of a tooltip on the refresh icon "Click here to refresh your balance without requiring pin code" or something.

Alternatively, clicking on the balance could refresh it? or maybe the refresh button lives closer to the balance (updating balance is the primary reason users would want to refresh I'm guessing)

Another strategy would be to only re-require pin code after some period of inactivity. Maybe have a toggle/setting for this feature on/off/duration.

Currently we require pin to be entered on refresh of the browser for security, but are planning a feature to remove the pin entirely: https://github.com/hivewallet/hive-js/issues/40.
