Bitwarden keeps requesting biometrics: Touch ID prompts spring to foreground

[Winaero]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have Touch ID enabled
2. Autolock/lock Bitwarden
3. Leave the application running in the background

Expected Result

The Bitwarden application should only display the "Bitwarden is trying to unlock your vault. Touch ID or enter your password to allow this." prompt when the vault is in the foreground, and the user is trying to interact with it purposely.

Actual Result

The Bitwarden application will randomly spring to the foreground, requesting Touch ID authentication even when it has not been summoned, interrupting the machine's use.

No response

Additional Context

My vault is set to auto-lock every 5 minutes. I have also tried this on 1 and 3 (custom) minute intervals.

• 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.
