Questions

What is Hash_Lock?
A page you open in the browser. It builds an encrypted database with Argon2id, AES-256, and an optional key file. You download it. Tools in Tab does not store it.
Does the USB have to stay plugged in?
Only while you unlock. The browser cannot detect a USB stick. You select the folder on that drive, so the drive has to be connected for the folder to be there.
Can the fingerprint recover the passcode?
No. It only lets you check that you typed the same words later.
