For me, setting a master password has only one real use. That is to prevent someone who gets hands on access to my laptop from being able to read my passwords (both for TB and Firefox). It's only of use when I stay in hotels (and that is a fair amount because of work). And I also figure that if the laptop is stolen, then it buys me some time so that I can change my passwords. Having a laptop stolen is a perfectly reasonable risk scenario.
My question is this:
Why don't you just encrypt the drive or at the very least the data partition.
There are many perfectly good mechanisms for this. I've thought about it, but I don't have the expertise to do it and have not had the time to look into it. Alternatively, in the mobile setting, strip down the 'laptop' (or use a cheapie burner from Goodwill) and use a USB stick as your /home. Remove the USB stick when no using the laptop. A month and a half back I bought a Samsung T1, 256 GB external USB SSD. I activated it on a MS machine, then used gparted to repartition it (/,/home, swap, etc). I installed OS 13.2 and it runs reasonably fast on several laptops. I can boot directly into the system and I am playing with it for when I travel. Cost me about $100 and it runs much faster
