Hi there,

I attempted to reproduce your issue and was unable to do so, unlock settings persist on my Android 12 device with Bitwarden Version 2023.1.0. Will you first try uninstalling the application, resetting your device (Power Off/On) and re-installing?

We use GitHub issues as a place to track bugs and other development related issues. If your issue persists after the reinstallation with the latest update (2023.1.0), please write us back using our contact form, so we can continue troubleshooting: https://bitwarden.com/contact/

Alternatively, you can also search for an answer in our help documentation (https://bitwarden.com/help/) or get help from other Bitwarden users on our community forums (https://community.bitwarden.com/c/support/).

The issue here will be closed.
