Windows vault timeout forces window to foreground

zeeZ commented 8 months ago

Steps To Reproduce

Set vault timeout to 1 minute, action to Lock
Put focus on another window without minimizing the Bitwarden client
Wait until the vault locks: the client will come to the foreground and take focus away from the current window

Expected Result

The client should lock without taking away focus from the current window

Actual Result

After the timeout, the Bitwarden client returns to the foreground and becomes the focused window, capturing keyboard input

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Does not occur when minimizing the window

Operating System

Windows

Operating System Version

Windows 10 Business Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Build Version

2023.12.1

Issue Tracking Info

[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.

Same behavior here with the latest Bitwarden Desktop Client on current Windows 11 Pro (my Install is via Download from the homepage). I have Windows Hello integration enabled.

This post on reddit describes exactly the same behavior.

Bitwarden auto-locks the vault and jumps into foreground, even when full-screen Apps like Video is open.

I have this problem too: BW for Windows pops up every time the unlock times out. This is very annoying as BW for Windows disturbs you whenever you are focused on your work! For example: 1/ You open BW for Windows and log on to your account to be able to open your work 2/ As the timeout is set to 15mn for security reasons, after 15mn the BW for Windows stops being unlocked, but instead of doing this silently as it should, it is pushing BW for Windows application in front of the user !!!

There is no reason to annoy the user. This behavior makes no sense. Please fix this Here are my settings:

A workaround is to disable the ask for Windows prompt option. But even when enable, BW for Windows should never behave like this.
