Steps To Reproduce

  1. Setup face unlock on the phone.
  2. Turn on biometric unlock in bitwarden.
  3. Block camera access in quick tiles.
  4. Open bitwarden while its locked.

Expected Result

Bitwarden should let me use fingerprint to unlock.

Actual Result

Face unlock window pops up for half a second, and then the biometric unlock is disabled for the whole phone, including other apps and lock screen. Fingerprint sensor does not register my fingerprint and I cannot even access the fingerprint and face options in settings. This problem persists until a reboot.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Bitwarden works like normal and lets me use fingerprint unlock if i delete my face model or have camera access unblocked. It produces the same bug even if i did not turn on the option to use face unlock for app biometric unlock though.

Operating System

Operating System Version
