The Android OS kills apps as it needs more resources.  Switching apps does not 
necessarily kill the previous app.  Switching back to secrets causes it to 
prompt for 
your password again.  If it does not do that, please reopen this issue or 
create a new 
one.  Thanks.

Ok, sure, it's not a bug...

But Secrets for Android is one of the few apps that is guaranteed not to hold 
useful 
state while in the background.  The Android OS can't know this, so when it 
needs more 
memory, it is just as likely to kill some app that may have useful state before 
killing Secrets for Android.

So my point is, it would be a useful enhancement for it to explicitly unload 
itself 
if possible.
