Prevent immediate lock on app switch by adding auto-lock timeout

Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
The application locks immediately when switching to another app, even for very brief interruptions (e.g., copying a value or checking another app). The immediate lock forces repeated authentication, making the experience cumbersome and inefficient.

Q2 - Who is impacted?
All mobile users.

Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?
This is important because common tasks like copying a username, password, or TOTP code require switching between apps. Since the app locks immediately when backgrounded, users are forced to re-authenticate every time they return. This creates a repetitive and frustrating experience during normal usage.

Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)
Introduce a configurable auto-lock delay (grace period) when the app is sent to the background.
