Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5189

Steps To Reproduce

1 Enable a Work profile on your android device
2 In your device settings go to Security and Privacy -> More Settings and Privacy-> Turn on 'Use one lock'
(steps taken from a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, may differ on other devices)
3 Install Bitwarden on the Work Profile and sign in with master password
4 Go to Settings in the Bitwarden app and find that the option to enable biometric unlock is not present

Expected Result

Expect to be able to enable biometric unlock for the bitwarden app.

Actual Result

No option to enable biometric unlock is present.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Android provides the ability to have separate device security (pin/fingerprint/face unlock) for main vs work profiles or to enable One Lock which allows the same security to be used across both main and work profiles.
When One Lock is disabled and distinct device biometrics are setup for different profiles the option to enable biometric unlock is available in the bitwarden app. But with one lock enabled, the biometric unlock is only available in the 'main profile' instance of bitwarden, not the the 'work profile' instance.

Build Version

2025.4.0

What server are you connecting to?

EU

Self-host Server Version

Environment Details

Device: Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Android 15 - May Security Patch

Issue Tracking Info

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
