Biometric Authentication Apple Silicon

[gotschi]

Hello thank you for the Apple builds first off! :)

Do you think it is possible to add Biometric Authentication to Thorium?
As far as I can see Chromium should have this already or am I missing something here?

Authn works really well in Safari with the Fingerprint sensor and I also have Bitwarden inside Thorium use the Fingerprint reader already fine.

What is needed for this?

thanks!

edit:
this is available currently:

@gotschi Can you see if the latest M111 version has this functionality?

The popup selection still only gives

• USB Security Key
• A different device (qr code)

whereas safari prompts straight to scan the fingerprint

Sorry for stealing your Issue, but this might be related.

Bitwarden inside Thorium use the Fingerprint reader already fine.

How did you manage to do this? I always get this message:

Firefox and Safari are working fine.

Thorium: Version 111.0.5563.69 (Official Build) (arm64)
MacOS: 13.2.1 (22D68) (M1 Pro)

you need to copy over the NativeMessagingHosts File from chromium / chrome to Thoriums userfolder as the Bitwarden Desktop app does not know about this browser
