I use Bitwarden, and I am not very enthused by this news. Biometrics are not as secure as a strong password with 2FA, especially face ID. A password vault should have the strongest protection you have available.
I suppose it's better than someone using a weak password or PIN, but there's no way I'd use this feature.

No hardware key here, but I have a long password and Authy.
@corlin Great stuff Gents.
Any chance you have suggestions for an opensource, Linux solution?
Hadn't considered my 2FA options on linux.
I use KeePassXC as my safe and OnlyKey hardware key...all on Linux
@opie Does OnlyKey allow you to login to the desktop environment on linux?
it can, I don't use it that way tho
it also integrates with sudo and ssh (stores keys on hwkey, ssh server requires entering challenge code on hwkey to complete authentication)
long winded way of saying: there's a PAM for that
@voltronic
I also use Bitwarden, and I also will not be using this.
I use an OnlyKey, + Bitwarden.
