Unlock the MacOS Safari Extension with Apple Watch

The Bitwarden Desktop Version for MacOS supports the Apple Watch as a biometric unlock option. The Safari Extension does not.

When using a MacBook in clamshell mode, I can still unlock my vault on the client using my apple watch. But since Touch ID get’s deactivated when the MacBook is closed the browser vault can’t be unlocked anymore.

Would love to see this added!

I would also very much appreciate this feature! I mostly use my MacBook with the lid down and I have a long and complicated master password.

It’s a shame that I can use this feature in Chrome but not in Safari.

I have the latest mac studio, but I don’t use apple keyboard with touch ID, and I would like to be able to unlock bitwarden in Safari with my apple watch. This feature is important for a streamline experience.

Note: I updated the title for clarity from “Apple Watch support for the MacOS Safari Extension” to “Unlock the MacOS Safari Extension with Apple Watch”.
