[Discuss] "Enter a passphrase to unlock the volume"

When I plug in one of my external backup disks my desktop software, Mate
(gnome fork from before they ruined the UI), helpful asks me for the
passphrase, which I like, I don't need to type fussy commands.
This dialog has three options:
- Forget password immediately
- Remember password until you logout
- Remember forever
The until logout is the default choice. Anyone know how to change the
default?
Why? I don't want "helpful" software here and there storing sensitive
passphrases for me at all, I want it forgotten immediately. I consider
that second option dangerous and the third option very dangerous. I
know, I know, I am always declining a little convenience in exchange for
a lot less security…
Thanks,
