I want to set up fingerprint unlock on bitwarden Desktop and Browser. I saw that it is possible by using Unlock with system authentication option, however I do not even have this option to be clickable in my settings. I can login to system with fingerprint, use sudo with fingerprint and etc… Maybe my system misses some packages to be installed in order for this work. I tried flatpak version as well, but same problem. Bitwarden desktop version is: 2025.2.1-1.1 .

@hdi Welcome to the forum!
What is your server version?
PS: And your CachyOS version is “up-to-date”?
CachyOS is freshly installed. But yeah, it is up to date.
Does server have influence on this? I am using vaultwarden docker container, web client says version: 2025.1.1
It seems, you are using an unofficial server software, which is not supported by Bitwarden, as it is an independent product. From time to time, there will be compatibility issues between the official Bitwarden client apps (browser extension, mobile app, desktop app…) and an unofficial server product, when Bitwarden implements changes to its own server software and/or client apps. “…Bitwarden cannot guarantee that official clients will work perfectly with non-official servers.”
(Also due to this - and for other reasons - we recommend using the official Bitwarden server software.)
It is generally not possible for members of the Bitwarden community (users or developers) to help with such issues - and with issues of the unofficial server itself. Please seek support in their community spaces.
If you can replicate your issue on an official Bitwarden server, feel free to open a new thread here.
