Describe the Bug

The iPad iOS app does not allow unlocking the vault with fingerprint. The iPhone iOS app does support this.

Steps To Reproduce

NA

Expected Result

Unlock iPad vault with fingerprint (both during app launch and during autofill)

Actual Result

I have to retype my master password every time (which briefly shows the last typed character)

Screenshots or Videos

Environment

  • Device: iPhone 8 / iPad Pro 10,5 inch
  • Operating system: iOS 14.4 (both devices)
  • Build Version (go to "Settings" → "About" in the app): 2.9.1 (544) (both devices)
  • Is this a Beta release? N

Additional Context

This is not a feature request, since the code is clearly already available. Not sure why this function is not available on iPad though.
