Browser biometrics requires unlocked desktop app

Any ideas when this might get fixed? It is very annoying to have to unlock the desktop app and then unlock again the extension in the browser, multiple times a day (I have it set to auto-lock after 5 min and not sure I want to change that).

I agree that this is a major problem with Bitwarden. Becomes even more difficult on Windows when you have multiple Chrome profiles – I feel like I am always having to biometric auth the desktop app, it signs out, and then I have to fix that and then biometric auth that particular instance of Chrome.

@jtermine Welcome to the forum!

This is a known issue that is in the process of being fixed. In the meantime, you may want to consider temporarily switching from biometrics unlock to unlocking with a PIN.


P.S. I've moved your comment into a more relevant forum thread, and also consolidated several threads on the same topic.

It works again with 2024.8.0!!!

Cheers!
