Describe the Bug

If I haven't used Bitwarden in a while and try to auto-fill a username/password in the Brave Browser from my vault and respond to the Bitwarden Biometric Verification immediately after it slides up by pressing my finger to the fingerprint reader, the vault unlocks, but the matched logins page is empty.

NOTE: It may not just be a Brave browser issue, but that's where I've definitely seen it happen from.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Don't use Bitwarden for a while
  • I can't really be more specific here because it doesn't always happen. I have Bitwarden set to auto-lock the vault after 15 minutes and have Unlock with Biometrics enabled. It might require the phone to have gone into deep sleep since the last time Bitwarden has been used?
  1. Click on a username or password field in Brave for a site you have a login saved for
  2. Click on the button to auto-fill from your vault
  3. Immediately after Bitwarden opens and the Bitwarden Biometric Verification screen slides up from the bottom, press your finger to the fingerprint reader as fast as you can
  4. The fingerprint is successfully read and the vault unlocks, but the matched logins page is empty

NOTE: At this point going back to Brave and then clicking the button to auto-fill from your vault again will now take you to the still unlocked vault logins page and show the login(s).

NOTE: I also just had it go to the main vault page instead of showing the matching logins. Going back to Brave and clicking on the auto-fill from vault button again the second time took me to the matched logins.

NOTE: The first time I remember seeing this happen was in December of 2020.

Expected Result

Clicking on the auto-fill button to go to Bitwarden and responding to the Bitwarden Biometric Verification screen as quickly or slowly as you like should unlock the vault and show the matched logins to auto-fill with.

Actual Result

If you click too quickly on the fingerprint reader after the Bitwarden Biometric Verification screen slides up, sometimes the matched logins screen will be empty, even though there is a valid login in my vault. If you wait a few seconds from when the screen slides up before pressing the fingerprint reader it always works.

Environment

  • Pixel 4A
  • Android 11 with February 5, 2021 security update
  • Build Version 2.8.0 (3349)
  • Is this a Beta release? N

@jredders commented on GitHub (Feb 19, 2021):

I'm now wondering if it just shows the matched logins screen before it's really finished searching, because I saw once yesterday that it showed up blank and just as I swiped to go back to Brave I saw the login appear. Maybe it needs some kind of spinner to show it's still working? I'll be sure to wait for a while if I see the issue again.
