Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enrol face in biometric unlocking on the phone.
  2. In Bitwarden settings, choose 'unlock with biometrics'.
  3. Lock Bitwarden.
  4. Unlock Bitwarden with biometrics (shows smiling face and a 'confirm' button).
  5. Search for an item in the vault.
  6. Bitwarden crashes after 5-15 seconds.

Expected Result

Bitwarden functions without crashing.

Actual Result

Bitwarden crashes after 5-15 seconds.

Additional Context

Bitwarden was not crashing with using the master password to unlock.
To test whether it was specifically Face Unlock that caused the issue I:

  2. 'Unlock with biometrics' still selected in Bitwarden.
  3. Bitwarden does not crash.
