New to macOS 26.4, the menu extra for the Passwords app shares its unlock state with the full app. So if you use Touch ID or your Mac password to unlock the menu extra and then go to add a new password or open an item in the full app, you won’t have to authenticate again to unlock the app.

Quitting the app or closing its last window is taken as a signal that you’re done for now, so the menu extra will lock as well. And you can lock the Passwords app or its menu extra any time with ⌘L.

@rmondello This is awesome! Do you happen to know if anything changes with autofill in Safari when on a HTTPS site with a non-signed cert? I connect to many self-hosted services over Tailscale, and they stopped popping up autofill with 26.4. Basically seems to happen anytime "Not Secure" is in the address bar.
@thatsthequy @rmondello Looks like it. The moment I imported the self-signed cert of my Synology into Keychain Access and manually trusted it, the autofill popup reappeared.
