I figured out a way to reproduce this issue:
-> Windows Hello prompts for the fingerprint, accepts it, but the Chrome extension doesn't unlock. Meanwhile, in the desktop app, the "Unlock with Windows Hello" option disappears for account B! If in step 6 I make sure that account B is selected in the desktop app before attempting to unlock the Chrome extension, everything works as expected.
Still reproducible with 2023.1.1
Still reproducible with 2023.2.0
Still reproducible with 2023.4.0
Hi there,
I attempted to reproduce your issue and was unable to do so. If you are still experiencing this behavior in version 2023.7.0 (or later), in the Bitwarden desktop application settings, there is now an option to "Ask for Windows Hello on app start" OR "Require password or PIN on app start." Please double-check that you have the appropriate setting enabled.
If your issue persists, please write us back using our contact form, so we can continue troubleshooting: https://bitwarden.com/contact/
You can include a link to this issue in the message content. The issue here will be closed.
Thanks!
It's still 100% reproducible for me with 2023.7.1 (desktop) and 2023.7.0 (browser extension) using the exact steps described above. I have "Ask for Windows Hello on app start" enabled. Note that you need to have multiple accounts set up to unlock with Windows Hello, all accounts must be locked, and only then do you trigger an unlock from the browser extension for an account that is not currently selected in the desktop app. Instead of unlocking, the option to sign in with Windows Hello is disabled, and you have to sign in with the master password once before being able to use Windows Hello for that account again.
Seems the latest version behaves even worse (2023.9.1), it now also looses the Windows Hello button seemingly randomly.
Still reproducible with 2023.10.1
Still reproducible with 2023.12.0.
Still reproducible with 2024.2.0
Steps To Reproduce
Expected Result
The "Unlock with Windows Hello" button on the "Your vault is locked" screen is shown for every account that has "Unlock with Windows Hello" enabled,
Actual Result
The "Unlock with Windows Hello" button on the "Your vault is locked" screen may or may not be shown for one or more of the accounts, in which case the account has to be unlocked by entering its master password. Having entered the master password, unlocking with Windows Hello usually works again, until it doesn't...
It's also worth noting that the behavior of the Bitwarden browser extension in this situation is a bit strange:

Additional Context
This has been an issue going back many versions. I have done multiple clean installs after each new version, no luck.
I have also noticed the same issue on a separate macOS installation, but it's not quite as frequent there.
