    Will be possible to implement that for users with no much Knowledge in programing ?

    unlock the wallet just by clicking into the locker on the bottom right, after the click shows to the user a window to put the password and unlock the wallet. step 1

    or by clicking in settings, show to me a option to click inunlock the wallet put the password and unlock? step2

    like that will be much helpful for people who has a lot special characters in the password to unlock.

    An attempt at implementation of a similar concept was done here #12149 but closed due to inactivity.

    @jonasschnelli Not sure if this is a desirable concept (keeping the wallet unlocked for unlimited time)... especially not with informing the user about the possible consequences / ramification.

    Why would ordinary user want that? You are asked for wallet passphrase when trying to send funds if wallet is locked.

    What is the use case for a "random" wallet unlock? IMO an unlock should happen if a private key is required for signing, etc. and should be limited to a short timeframe. IMO it should not be explicit user driven.

    Closing this because it seems unwanted
