Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open BitWarden app
  2. Unlock the vault (using biometric/fingerprint)
  3. Search for a password that has additional protection
  4. Click on the eyeball to see the password
  5. Re enter your master password to unlock it

Expected Result

It should show me the protected password

Actual Result

App crashes

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

It also fails when trying to auto fill from the app after reentering my master password.

Passwords without additional protection don't have a problem. The same problem on my desktop works fine.

Android

Operating System Version

13

Device

pixel 6 pro

Build Version

TQ3A.230805.001.A1

I'm seeing what looks like the same issue on iOS and iPadOS.

Editing the entry or requesting to view the secret crashes after entering the master Bitwarden password.

Thanks for staying on top of it. I searched for issues labeled with android and I didn't find it.

I just turned off biometric login (based on the questions in the linked issue).

I closed the app, and unlocked with my password.

Then the protected passwords did unlock and stopped crashing.

So it definitely seems related to bio unlock.
