Missing Windows Login Authentification

I can no longer log into my vault. My login method is no longer displayed. I have always authenticated myself using Windows Hello (pin). Yesterday it worked without any problems. Normally as soon as I start/open Bitwarden a window similar to this
Windows-Sicherheits_Anmeldung
appears after entering the pin Bitwarden opens and I have access to my vault.

This is currently not the case… Even a restart did not help. With other applications like KeepasXc the authentication via Windows Hello Pin works without problems.
I also can’t log in with my MasterPassword.

Currently i get this screen (Can post it because only one media is allowed)

Hey there, can you try the following:

  1. Uninstalling the Bitwarden desktop application.
  2. Install the Bitwarden desktop application from this link: https://vault.bitwarden.com/download/?app=desktop&platform=windows
  3. In your Bitwarden Desktop app, navigate to Settings (on Windows, File → Settings).
  4. Scroll down to the Options section, and check the Enable Browser Integration box.
  5. In your Browser, navigate to the Extensions manager (e.g., chrome://extensions or brave://extensions), open Bitwarden, and toggle the Allow access to file URLs option. Not all browsers will require this to be toggled on, so feel free to skip this step and circle back to it only if the remaining procedure doesn’t work.
  6. In your Browser Extension, open the Settings tab.
  7. Scroll down to the Security section and check the “Unlock with biometrics” box. You should be prompted by your Desktop app to input your biometric. Doing so will complete the initial setup procedure.
