Steps To Reproduce
I just found a behavior difference from Bitwarden cloud account.
That is when auto filling using BW cloud account, iOS mobile app, Face ID turn on, timeout set to never, vault is set to lock, the credentials just auto fill.
When I switch to my self hosted VW instance same settings Face ID has to authenticate every time I autofill irrespective of the timeout.
I then switched off Face ID in both instances to see if I’d be prompted with a master password. In BW cloud, it just autofills, expected because app is still open in background and wasn’t closed time out set to never. I then switched to VW and despite Face ID being turned off it prompted for Face ID again.
Expected Result
Expected to match BW cloud instance where unlocking isn’t needed due to timeout set to never.
Actual Result
When autofilling with VW Face ID is called every time auto filling.
