EDIT: Removing unnecessary comment to focus on what's this about.

~~Linux keeps prompting me for password when I don't need it to (installing programs, changing settings etc.) but when I would actually want it to - viewing passwords saved in web browser - it doesn't~~. I'd like Linux to prompt me to enter password when viewing passwords saved in browsers. This works by default in Windows. Anyone know how to ~~fix~~ set it on Linux?

System: Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon (but it was the same in 21.1).

Browser: Vivaldi 6.1.3035.111 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit), but it's the same in Waterfox.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
