Bitwarden is not usable on Linux desktop, keeps asking for password. The password can’t be too short, so it takes some time to type it in. I turn off my computer when it’s not needed, so I would just need to type in the password when I turn it on again.

Anyone have a better solution?

Is “keeps asking for the password” the definition of “unusable on Linux”?

I have zero issue using this on Linux fwiw; yes, I am asked for password again on BW when I reboot/start my system. That is not inconvenient to me.

Yes, because it doesn’t have biometric support on Linux

You could use your

to unlock the app instead of the password

I think its a recent addition (08/2024) on Linux.

Add support for biometric unlock on Linux

A better solution is to disable vault lock. It is very much usable (mostly talking about browser extension).
