Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6942

Steps To Reproduce

Biometrics login stopped working on Huawei P30 Pro (Android 10)
Steps / Background

Biometric login stopped working only in Bitwarden.

Biometric authentication still works correctly in other applications, including banking apps (for example Revolut and local banking/service apps in my country).

I recently added a new fingerprint to the device. I understand that after adding a new fingerprint it is necessary to re-enable biometrics in applications again.

However, in Bitwarden it is now impossible to enable biometric login again.

Device information
Device: Huawei P30 Pro
Android version: Android 10
EMUI / Software version: 12.0.0.149
Device state:

  • not rooted
  • bootloader locked

Bitwarden app version: 2026.4.0

  • Installed from Google Play Store

Expected Result

I should be able to re-enable "Unlock with biometrics" on my device.

Actual Result

Biometric unlock no longer works and cannot be enabled again in Bitwarden, while biometrics continue to work normally in other apps.

Another user here.

And just for clarity:

Biometrics login stopped working

There is no "biometrics login", so that could not have stopped working. You seem to be talking about "Unlock with biometrics".

Unlock with Biometrics requires Class 3 Biometric Sensors - https://bitwarden.com/help/biometrics/#set-up-biometrics-for-mobile According to what I have found - P30 Pro does not have such capabilities.
