But now, the Hello popup pops up immediately (i.e. Usually, when I click the icon in my browser, it asks for my master password and then I have to click the “Unlock with biometrics” button before the Windows Hello popup pops up. And even more curiously, the Windows Hello popup pops up even though the browser app says that it’s waiting for the desktop app to become active (it usually doesn’t cause the Hello popup to pop up if the desktop app isn’t active).Īdded: I’ve just noticed something else that is odd. When I click the icon in the browser, or use the desktop app, and select “Unlock with biometrics”, the usual Windows Hello popup pops up, and when I supply my fingerprint, the Hello popup disappears (which means that my fingerprint was accepted), but Bitwarden does not unlock.Ĭuriously, the browser add-on gives a message that it is waiting for the desktop app to become active, but it is already active. Fingerprint unlocking still works to access Windows itself.

This morning, fingerprint unlocking no longer unlocks Bitwarden – neither the desktop app nor the browser (in Vivaldi) responds to fingerprint unlocking. Stuck on 'awaiting confirmation from desktop' chrome extension - #2 by cksapp]įWIW, I installed the new version of Bitwarden last night when prompted.
