In fact, I do hope that this gets resolved soon for everyone.
I just wondered – let’s say you use your computer for about 7-10 hours straight: then you only once have to use the master password or PIN to unlock the desktop app. After that you can use biometrics to unlock as long as you wish (and as long as you don’t close the desktop app). – Setting the vault timeout to “never” only prevents using biometrics then – and it doesn’t help with the first unlock either.
But of course – again – I agree that this first unlock should also be possible again with biometrics.
(personally, I really long for Unlock with FIDO2/"passkeys as an additional unlocking option…)
