Steps To Reproduce

I bought personal premium for attachments but if I enable Settings / Account security / Unlock with Biometrics and set Session Timeout as Immediately, attachment adding doesn't work on Android (Samsung Galaxy S23 Android 15. There is NO custom rom or root.) because app goes background and file manager opens. When Bitwarden returns, it asks my finger print and open main menu without adding my attachments. Also, there is no third party file manager other than Samsun's default one.

In short, app can't hold its last state at memory. You can say don't set session timeout immediately but it is not a solution and why not ? it is the secured solution.

Expected Result

Successfuly adding an attachment to an entry such as secure note.

Actual Result

app goes background and file manager opens. When Bitwarden returns, it asks my finger print and open main menu without adding my attachments.
