3 Install Bitwarden on the Work Profile and sign in with master password
4 Go to Settings in the Bitwarden app and find that the option to enable biometric unlock is not present

Expected Result

Expect to be able to enable biometric unlock for the bitwarden app.

Actual Result

Additional Context

Android provides the ability to have separate device security (pin/fingerprint/face unlock) for main vs work profiles or to enable One Lock which allows the same security to be used across both main and work profiles.
When One Lock is disabled and distinct device biometrics are setup for different profiles the option to enable biometric unlock is available in the bitwarden app. But with one lock enabled, the biometric unlock is only available in the 'main profile' instance of bitwarden, not the the 'work profile' instance.

Issue Tracking Info

  • 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.
