I can confirm this behaviour. Same situation with my phone. Pixel 7a, Android 15 Beta

Can confirm this also on Pixel 8 and Android 14. Would be nice to have this fixed because the Biometric quick unlock is a very convenient feature.

I can confirm the same issue on the Google Pixel 8a. version 1.10 pre Android 14 It works fine on my Google Pixel 4a (same version but on Android 13)

Maybe I found a solution: In the event that the error occurred after an Android update or when switching to a new phone: In the app go to "Settings" - "Database" and deactivate the login via biometrics. Close the app, open it again and reactivate biometrics. Voila :-). At least that worked for me

Yep. That's what I always do in the same situation.

Thanks! I changed phone, moved from Android 12 to Android 14 with the default android device cloning feature, had the same issue with Keepass, and solved it the same way.
