It would be a lot more convenient if we could use fingerprint authentication right away when the autofill service popup/tooltip is on screen to unlock my vault and see our available logins.
Instead, currently you have to tap on the popup/tooltip, wait as the Bitwarden app pulls up on the whole screen, place your fingerprint to unlock your vault, then only select your login.
This seems like a very obvious feature and I am surprised it is not the case. The absence of this features hurts user experience severely. Nonetheless, I hope this issue can be taken note of. Thank you.
(as I’ve seen on GitHub, this feels like more of a “bug” than feature request)
I would think this as a security feature. Applications have overlay permissions etc. I would like to confirm I’m scanning my fp for fir the right application.
Also I don’t think you can request the android authentication api without the application being active and in the foreground
On iOS, I don’t think this is possible. You may have been talking about Android but you didn’t mention it.
On iOS you have to tap the password auto-fill or key (“other options” I guess) button to get to your password manager app and only then can it request biometric authentication. Apple doesn’t allow apps to request biometric auth in the background like that.
