Feature Request: Set A Password For Private Key Exporting
Hey guys,
I was thinking about this today while reading that Uber left their key in the open. While mine are encrypted in my system, that does not stop someone from (if they gained access to my system) from exporting them right out of the GPG Keychain. It might be a good idea to have a password to open the App, or to export anything, a password must be set and authenticated.
Thoughts?

Hi Brian,
this easily solvable by setting a password for your OS X screensaver. So if you work in a multi-seat work environment or have people visiting that option should deal with those situations.
All the best,

Agreed. This would just be an extra layer of security :)
