Describe the Bug

If you use an external keyboard connected via USB OTG to enter your email and master password in the Android client, and then unplug it to connect your YubiKey, the application would go back to the first screen showing 3 buttons to Log in, Create account, or Enterprise Single Sign-On.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Connect a keyboard via USB OTG to your Android device.
  2. Open your Bitwarden application.
  3. Enter your email and master password using the keyboard.
  4. Once you're asked to use your YubiKey, please disconnect your USB OTG keyboard.

Expected Result

To remain on the same page.

Actual Result

I'm returned to the first screen, and the login flow is cancelled.

Screenshots or Videos

N/A.

Environment

  • Device: Samsung Note 10+.
  • Operating system: Android 10.
  • Build Version: 2.7.2 (3300).
  • Is this a Beta release? N.

I debugged into it a little bit and I noticed that the method MainActivity.OnPause() and OnCreate() is triggered.
This brought me to:
Stack Overflow

"Alternatively, you can tell Android that your app will handle "keyboard" configuration changes and it will not restart your activities when the keyboard connects/disconnects. "

I am no expert in Xamarin but I guess we have to add something like:
<activity android:configChanges="keyboard" />
somehow to the AndroidManifest.xml?! O.o
