Is there a way to set up the master password function so it ONLY asks
for it when you want to 'Show Passwords' using the Password Manager?
I tried turning on Master Passwords "The first time it is needed", but
it then asks for it every time I turn on SM, and twice when I want to
manage passwords. It seems like it's either all the time, or never,
making it difficult to use it just when you only want to protect your
passwords.

...this is part of the bug I've written and been complaining about for
the last dozen or more releases - the prompt doesn't behave per the Pref
setting, and is implemented poorly. This used to work but got broken
someplace a long time ago.
I can see having to authenticate to Manage Passwords, but I agree -
having to enter it twice (once to open the Manager and again to show
Passwords) seems a bit redundant. Seems like you shouldn't have to
enter it until the user selects Show Passwords, but I can also see
arguments either way.
Then there's those stupid random requests that totally hang SM if you
have something else like a download in progress...arrrrgggggh...this
actually got *worse* with SM 2.14 in that now SM will also freeze if a
user input/response pane is up because SM loses focus on the pane vs
Master request - which is why I'm not budging from SM 2.13.2. I've
added these observations to my bug, but given that I've been ignored for
the last 5+ years I doubt we'll actually see any of this fixed...
