The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how Sparrow Wallet decides whether to show a password-protected lock screen. Previously, the app checked once when wallet settings changed and cached that result. Now it re-checks every time the wallet is locked or unlocked by looking directly at the storage encryption key. This is a defensive fix: it reduces the chance that the lock screen might be skipped or incorrectly shown if the wallet's encryption state changes without the app noticing.

Recommended action

Review whether any other code paths still rely on stale walletEncryptedProperty values, and verify that Storage.getEncryptionPubKey() and Storage.NO_PASSWORD_KEY correctly distinguish password-protected wallets from unencrypted or no-password wallets in all storage formats.

Security signals we found

01

Changed encryption-status check from cached/event-driven to per-lock/unlock evaluation

02

Removed reliance on walletSettingsChanged event to keep encryption status current

03

Switched from isEncrypted() (IO-dependent) to direct encryption public key comparison

04

Defensive hardening of lock screen behavior
