Safari: password reprompt window stays open when tabs are pinned

[hausler89]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Pin tabs in Safari
2. Lock the vault of the browser extension
3. Hit Shift-Command-L, enter PIN / Password

Expected Result

The vault should be unlocked, and the little popup window where you entered the password should close.

Actual Result

The popup window stays open in the background.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

It works as intended when there are no pinned tabs. However, when tabs are pinned, the popup window for the password prompt only moves to the background instead of being closed.

This is particularly annoying when you have a short timeout on the vault, as it will create a new window every time you use autofill and put in the password. Even worse is using biometrics, as each of the windows in the background tries to request the fingerprint all the time.

• [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Edit: I sideloaded version 23.10.0 which includes https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/pull/6600 and that fixed my issue.

Hi! This issue is also present on Chrome. In my case it is because I use a Chrome tab manager which uses a pinned tab in every window for tab management.

To reproduce:

1. Install Tablerone Tab Manager
2. Install Bitwarden Vault Extension
3. Login to Bitwarden
4. Lock your vault
5. Autofill a login with the vault locked (A new window will open to enter your bitwarden details.)
6. Enter bitwarden login. (On successful details the tab will close and focus will go to the tab in which you used autofill (in the original window), the newly created window will stay open on the pinned tab.

This means that every time you use autofill on a locked vault, you create a new window which you need to manually close.

Previously I did not have this issue because bitwarden opened a new tab in the same window, which works fine.
