Can I use the Physical Authorization Key for automatic login when it is connected to my computer?

No, but there is a feature request for this that you may wish to support:

Unlock Bitwarden with 2FA i.e. Yubikey (instead of, not in addition to password)

@tgreer closed the 2FA when ‘unlocking’ feature request due to the new “force 2FA upon timeout”. While that is a great feature it is not what the majority of the people in that thread meant. Lastpass has this great browser extension feature that allows a user to unlock with their Yubikey, without typing a password. This is fast and far more secure than typing a password. This feature request is to allow a flow where: User has a logged in browser extension Browser extension locks after x min…

Presently, you can use a PIN code or biometrics (if your device is equipped) to unlock your vault so that you don’t have to type in your master password:
