Hello @m0yP,

Thank you for reporting this. I tested this on Android 14 by setting the Vault Timeout/Action to (On app restart/Lock) whilst (Unlock with biometrics) is activated, and I left the phone; the Bitwarden Android client was unlocked when I launched it after ~12 hours. I'd recommend checking if another application or a setting in the operating system is killing the Bitwarden client whilst it's in the background.

If this behaviour persists, please feel free to create a Support ticket so we'd have a look at this together, and please also include a link to this GitHub report in the body of your ticket.

Alternatively, you can seek assistance from other Bitwarden users in our Community Forums, if you wish.

We use GitHub to track potential bugs and other development related matters; This GitHub report will be closed at this point.

Thank you again,
