  4. Enter your PIN but do not press "Unlock"
  5. Switch to another app
  6. Return to the Bitwarden app
  7. Press "Unlock"

Expected Result

The entered PIN should be automatically cleared when switching to another app

Actual Result

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

When the "Unlock with PIN code" feature is enabled in the Bitwarden iOS app, if a user enters their PIN but switches to another app before unlocking the vault, the previously entered PIN is still visible when returning to the Bitwarden app. This can potentially lead to unauthorized access to the vault, compromising sensitive information such as credit card details.
