Passkey User Verification Independent of Vault Unlock Method

I wanted to provide an update that Bitwarden will be rolling back this change in an upcoming release. We introduced user verification in order to meet the WebAuthn guidelines for passkeys. Unfortunately, the way we introduced it added too much friction. Passkeys offer users enhanced security over passwords, but this shouldn’t come at the expense of the user experience. We will continue to iterate on user verification before re-implementing it. Thank you for the feedback and suggestions around how you’d like to see user verification handled.
