If you uncheck the âRequire verification for browser integrationâ you wonât be prompted each time and the connection will persist even after you close your browser
The issue is the desktop app was not running in the background which is necessary for biometrics to work. Have the desktop app launch on startup to the system try (you can set it so it doesnât ask for biometrics on launch). After this your browser integration will work without needing to unlock the desktop app.
Currently you are launching the desktop app, which is set to unlock via biometrics on launch resulting in the double login.
uMAniclo, do you know if it is possible to use only a pin number on the browser if I do not have a fingerprint reader (as on my desktop computer).
When I open the desktop app, I have set it to accept a pin number, and I have also set it so that verification is not required for the browser⌠I have set the browser settings to use a pin number. I have also set it to lock at 72 hours⌠but yet every time I close the browser and re-open it, the browser version requires the master password again! So it seems in this case, when using a pin number instead of a fingerprint, logging in once on the desktop app does nothing to allow me in the browser app.
Is that correct, is there no way to avoid a master password log in on the browser if I donât have a fingerprint reader on it?
Hi,
But the pin on the browser extension does not work! I keep getting asked for the full master password. HERE IS A VIDEO to see this problem.
LOL about the 72 hours⌠just shows how desperate I am to NOT have to enter the master password so often!

Hi @Mark_Palmos - when you enable the PIN, there is a prompt that asks if youâd like to use your Master Password after restarting Bitwarden. Make sure to select ânoâ and youâll find the PIN does remain in effect
To change this setting, disable the PIN and re-enable it
Ah, thanks, that works!
Hmm⌠but I think this very weird. Why would you choose PIN if you wanted to over-ride that (as set by default) with the master password!?
At very least the settings should not default to have you need to re-enter the master password. Surely if you wanted that you would not choose to gain entry using a pin?
