Several related threads have been merged, which have in common that they propose the use of a vault unlock method (e.g., biometrics, PIN, or password) as an alternative to master password re-prompt for protection of individual vault items. Therefore, the topic title was changed from “Adding Biometric/PIN authentication as an alternative for Master Password Re-Prompt” to “Re-prompt by unlock methods (alternative to master password re-prompt for individual item protection)”.
A mod notice with the following text has been added to the top of the thread, to clarify the scope of the merged feature request topic and to distinguish it from related feature requests:
This feature request topic is a combination of several related feature requests, each of which has proposed authorizing access to individually protected vault items by a vault unlock method (such as biometrics); this would be an optional alternative to the existing Master Password Re-Prompt feature. The feature request encompasses the possibilities of re-prompt authorization using either the enabled vault unlock methods, or separately configured methods that are similar to unlocking (e.g., separate biometrics, PIN, or secondary passwords).
This feature request is distinct from the following related request, which proposes the use of 2FA methods as an alternative to master password reprompt:
“Re-prompt by 2FA methods (alternative to master password re-prompt for individual item protection)”
