✅ Touch ID support for macOS

EDIT: :man_facepalming:t4:wow I see you referenced this, as it was also already requested a long time ago. Still, I’d imagine should be fairly simplistic, as keyboard shortcut just triggering logic.

Autofill shortcut should open login window when vault is locked

A simpler suggestion/request is to allow the auto-fill keyboard shortcuts to trigger the bitwarden extension to prompt for unlock (touchid).

I would like to suggest this along side the automatic auto-fill prompt feature request, as both of these provide independent value and can sort of act as failovers for one another.

This feature request is what would really make the touchid implementation shine.

Users would not need to ever use the mouse or perform extra navigation and clicks in order to unlock. Hands can stay on the keyboard, unlocks would be quick and painless.

Logic would be:

  • User navigates to webpage
  • User uses autofill keyboard shortcut (e.g cmd + \ )
  • If bitwarden extension is locked, show prompt for unlock (e.g touchid if configured)
    • Autofill for current site
  • Else bitwarden extension is already unlocked, autofill as normal.

I would think this implementation would be very do-able and not require any deep safari integrations.
