An unlocked session isn't exactly safe; it'd be easy enough to install e.g. a keylogger or other malware while the session is unlocked. And even a locked session isn't very safe if a malicious actor can reboot and get plaintext access to storage. A real solution includes full disk encryption as well.

As with chromebooks ubuntu is not locked when suspended, all my passwords are available to anyone. So It would good to put an authentication step before showing user passwords.
