Here are comments on some questions you might have posted above.
Feature requests that you might want to vote for:
- Add: Unlock with Device
- Unlock with FIDO2/“passkeys”
- Sign into Bitwarden with a passkey / "Login with passkeys" (for all BW apps)
Bitwarden clients have distinct states: logged out, logged in but locked, logged in (but just restarted) but locked, and unlocked. When logged out, “Login with Device” may be presented. When logged in but locked, “only” your configured options are presented, the default being password only. When logged in (but just restarted) but locked, your configured options, except biometrics on some platforms, are presented.
These are intentional. Other behaviors are considered feature requests, hence the above-listed feature requests.
