Hi,
When I unlock BW in Chrome and Brave, the popup always appears behind the browser window. When I do the same in Firefox, it appears on top as expected.
Is this something on my side or a BW bug?

Hello,
If you are talking about the latest FF update, v2025.2.0, some people apparently also experience having to click the Windows Hello popup into the foreground as well:

I am still on v2024.12.4 for FF, and the Windows Hello popup is inconsistent: some are in the foreground, some are in the background.
Given that they have had this problem for months, since before the UI refresh, carrying into the new UI, I don’t expect they’ll resolve this problem completely soon. I think a “mitigation” was put into the old UI, which worked well for a while (at least for me), but now it’s going back to the way when the problem originally started.
Given that KeepassXC works with Windows Hello consistently version-to-version, this is a head scratcher for me. The workaround is to use PIN.
I’m having the same problem with Chrome and the Bitwarden browser extension. Given that this appears to be a known issue, is there an existing thread for this?
