[bisq-network/bisq] When wallet password is enabled private keys are still accessible and BSQ / BTC funds can be sent without the need to enter password (#5276)

[pazza]

Hi @sqrrm has this changed recently?

The wiki refers to requiring your password to access the private keys: https://bisq.wiki/Manual_payout#Get_private_keys

> **Get private keys**
> To access your Bisq wallet private key
> 
> - Press Ctrl + j, alt +j or cmd + j.
> - Check Include private keys and click COPY TO CLIPBOARD.
> - In the text editor, search for the public key value. You are looking for an entry that reads DeterministicKey{pub HEX=<hex value> where <hex value> is the public key.
> - When you've found this entry, select and copy the priv WIF=<hex value> value that immediately follows the pub HEX value. This value is the private key.
> - Copy, paste and save that information in a bisqWallet.txt file.
> 
> **Note: If your wallet uses a password, you will need to remove the password to view the private keys in wallet data.** 

Where is the discussion taking place about improving wallet security?

What makes it not an easy issue to solve. Can't a password prompt just be added when the user presses Press Ctrl + j, alt +j or cmd + j?
