Where to approve browser extension fingerprint login in the MacOS app?

MacOS. Safari fingerprint login works.

Probably not – as you’re probably talking about biometric unlock. (and not login)

However, on Firefox and Brave we need to select “

you then get prompted “Awaiting confirmation from desktop
Please confirm using biometrics in the
Bitwarden desktop application to set up bio-
metrics for browser.”

so you’ then go to the MacOS APP and turn on “Allow browser integration
Used to allow biometric unlock in browsers that are not Safari.”

Wrong order… You first have to open the desktop app, and make sure that biometric unlock and “Allow browser integration” are enabled.

Then, with the open desktop app, start your browser and set up biometric unlock on the extension.

For Firefox on MacOS – if it still doesn’t work – have a look into these additional instructions: Firefox browser extension biometrics integration stuck on "Awaiting confirmation from desktop" - #25 by Nail1684
