Require a password when viewing browser's saved passwords
EDIT: Removing unnecessary comment to focus on what's this about.
Linux keeps prompting me for password when I don't need it to (installing programs, changing settings etc.) but when I would actually want it to - viewing passwords saved in web browser - it doesn't. I'd like Linux to prompt me to enter password when viewing passwords saved in browsers. This works by default in Windows. Anyone know how to fix set it on Linux?
System: Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon (but it was the same in 21.1).
Browser: Vivaldi 6.1.3035.111 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit), but it's the same in Waterfox.

Nothing to really fix because thats the design. In userland you can do anything, system wide needs elevated credentials. If you don't want the password prompt, look into aliases and sudoers/pkexec
