[Feature] Remember login method

[emptywee]

Describe the problem this feature would solve

The app supports logging in with a password or Windows Hello. I use the latter, but have to click every single time that I want to login using Windows Hello. This feature would make the app remember the last method used and automatically prompt the right dialog.

It appears that the first time the app is started after booting the OS it uses Windows Hello prompt to unlock the app/db, but later in the day it defaults to regular password login.

Describe the solution

The solution would save a click each time the app is used. Hence, improve users productivity :)

Do you mean that when the app automatically logs you out, you have to press the Windows Hello button when you log in again?

Here's how it is for me. I start my computer and boot into Windows. Then I launch the 2fast app (where I have Windows Hello enabled and set as preferred), it indeed invokes Windows Hello login method and all's good. If I manually click the lock button in the upper right corner, it locks the database and prompts for password, instead of Windows Hello. Same happens when it automatically locks the database.

This is intentional in this case, as the open Windows Hello popup blocks the application window and the minimisation of it.

Only if the window in the background has locked itself and you then bring the window back to the foreground, I could think about an automatic start from the Windows Hello login.
