Hello,
For some time now when I’m trying to unlock my browser extension (be it on Firefox, Brave etc) I’m encountering a small delay of about 3-4 sec.
I have configured a Windows PIN and use that for Biometrics Unlock. My browser extension is set to lock immediately, hence every time I need to autofill I need to unlock the vault using my PIN and lately I’ve been encountering this delay. Previously, the PIN pop-up window appeared straight away after clicking the Bitwarden browser extension, but now it take about 3-4 sec for it to show up.
I’ve tested on Brave and the delay is present here as well, so I don’t think this is browser related.
Any thoughts?

I wonder if this is related to the delays reported here:
opened 07:24PM - 19 Sep 22 UTC
closed 06:43PM - 04 Oct 22 UTC
bug
browser
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Go to Chrome/Brave BW extension
2. Click on BW exten… sion to open & unlock with a pin
3. Input unlock pin
### Expected Result
The BW extension should accept keyboard input without any lag.
### Actual Result
The BW extension has about a ~2-3 second lag before it accepts keyboard input.
### Screenshots or Videos
_No response_
### Additional Context
When attempting to unlock the BW chrome extension, there is about a ~3-second lag between when the extension dropdown opens to when it accepts keyboard input.
Before the 2022.9 update, I never experienced this lag. In version 2022.8 and older, I would click the extension, and it would start taking input instantly. Looking back at this, this was an unnoticed workflow enhancer, as the vault would unlock pretty quickly.
I'm running the BW extension on **Brave Beta Version 1.44.86 Chromium: 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) beta (arm64)**. This shouldn't matter as I've always run Brave in beta and the BW extension worked flawlessly before 2022.9. & 2022.9.1.
I created a new Brave beta profile to test, but still the same thing.
I am not using a self-hosted instance.
All my browsers are up to date.
Once browsers were closed out, there were no lingering processes for Brave or Chrome browsers.
I ran the extension on **Chrome Version 105.0.5195.125 (Official Build) (arm64**), and I still get the same input lag issue.
I tried on safari, **Version 16.0 (17614.1.25.9.10, 17614)** and input lag is also present there.
### Operating System
macOS
### Operating System Version
Version 12.6 (21G115)
### Web Browser
Brave
### Browser Version
Brave Beta Version 1.44.86 Chromium: 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) beta (arm64
### Build Version
2022.9.1
It seems a recent update (currently using 2022.9.1) has changed the behavior so when I click on the bitwarden browser extension to login the pin field no longer has the focus. I have to manually click into the field to type my pin. Before the pin field would get the focus automatically.
