I’ve got the Edge extension configured to use biometrics. Each time I start up my laptop, I’m prompted for desktop sync verification before I can use biometrics. To be honest, it’s actually easier for me to re-type my master password! Why do I need to verify every time?

Unlock with Biometrics | Bitwarden Help Center → Browser Extension

Enable for browser extensions

…
2. Scroll down to the options section, and check the Allow browser integration box.

:information_source: Note

Optionally, check the Require verification for browser integration option to require a unique fingerprint verification step when you activate the integration.

Just an FYI this can be disabled.

I’ve turned that off as a test although the wording is a little confusing. Doesn’t specifically say it turns off this phrase confirmation.
