Android Beta: Fingerprint unlock no longer appears automatically

On the latest Android Beta update for the Bitwarden app: v2024.8.0 (18985) when launching the app, the fingerprint unlock method no longer automatically shows up, now you have to tap the use biometric unlock button and then use your fingerprint to unlock the app.

So you can no longer seamlessly open the app and just use your fingerprint to unlock it, again you need to tap the use biometrics button first. It never used to be this way, hope it’s just a bug, as it’s annoying.

I have found this the same. It is very annoying.
