Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6411

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap on "Lock app" and enable it.
  3. Verify with biometrics of your device.

Expected Result

I can choose and set a "session timeout" setting, just as the iOS authenticator app can do it at least since version 2025.5.0:

My source for that info and that screenshot, that stems from the iOS authenticator app 2025.5.0: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/add-session-timeout-settings-on-android-its-already-there-on-ios/66718/6

Actual Result

I can enable a general "locking" function (or not enable it at all) - but no session timeout settings can be set, as it's possible in all other Bitwarden apps.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

This can also be seen as a "security issue", as the app doesn't lock itself again when open in the background.

Build Version

2025.12.1 (1138)

What server are you connecting to?

EU

Self-host Server Version

Nope

Environment Details

  • FP5
  • Android 15

Issue Tracking Info
