As e.g. in this other feature request mentioned, a password as a fallback for biometrics (and/or as a fallback for a PIN, if it was there) would make sense.
As also written there, such a password could also be used to further protect exports etc.
@Nail1684
Are you proposing that the fallback password be the same as the master password or a new, separate password?
@Joe4 Case 1: As long as the authenticator app doesn’t sync with the password manager/vault, I guess there is no “master password” for the authenticator app. So then it would necessarily be a “separate password”.
Case 2: If someone decides to sync the authenticator app with their password manager/vault, then maybe the (BW vault) master password could be used? – Honestly, at this point in time I don’t know how it’s technically implemented and we have to wait and see, I guess. (e.g. how much the authenticator app manages itself then - or if everything is “controlled” by the password manager app?!)
