Windows Hello authentication doesn't work anymore on my Microsoft Surface Laptop, since the 2 last releases #16592

Steps To Reproduce

Just open Bitwarden...
I can enable or disable the PIN code and the main vault password. I can also enable or disable the "Windows Hello" unlock option — but it doesn't seem to have any effect: the only authentication methods that work are still the PIN code and the main vault password. 😢 It used to work perfectly some time ago.

Expected Result

Windows Hello is functioning properly again...

Actual Result

Windows Hello just doesn't have any effect anywhere.

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.
