If you use a Master Password then your passwords can only be accessed after you have supplied that MP during a session. You will be prompted to enter the MP the first time it is needed in a session. You can logout from the Software Security Device (e.g. click Cancel in the "Show Passwords" dialog) to force re-entering the MP once again.
