Browser: Provide fingerprint support for Chrome extension

[junweilee]

The Lastpass Chrome extension as well as the bitwarden Android app currently has fingerprint unlock support.

Please implement for the bitwarden Chrome extension as well! It will greatly improve quality of life.

What kind of device do you use to unlock the browser extension with fingerprint?

I am using a KByte fingerprint reader on Windows 10. Works with Windows Hello and Lastpass.

I believe Lastpass uses some binary extension to achieve this though :\

Yea I am not sure of a way to do this without some other native app installed. I don't think I can communicate with any fingerprint reader from a web extension directly.

Currently weighing a migration to Bitwarden, but lack of Windows Hello support is a dealbreaker. Any news on this one?

We are moving away from tracking Bitwarden feature requests like this one as GitHub issues. We have created a Bitwarden Community Forum which has a section for submitting, voting for, and discussing product feature requests.

Please sign up on our forums, search to see if this request already exists. If so, you can vote for it and contribute to any discussions about it. If not, you can re-create the request there so that it can be properly tracked.

This issue will now be closed. Thanks!

With the Web Authentication API in the works, perhaps it would be a good idea if this issue were re-opened.
