Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open the Bitwarden app on an iOS device.
  2. Create a new Secure Note.
  3. Enable the "Master Password Re-prompt" option for this note.
  4. Save the note.
  5. Lock and then unlock the Bitwarden app using Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN.
  6. Navigate to the Secure Note created in step 2.
  7. Attempt to view or copy the contents of the note.

Expected Result

Upon attempting to view or copy the contents of a Secure Note with "Master Password Re-prompt" enabled, the app should prompt the user to enter their master password before granting access.

Actual Result

The app allows viewing and copying of the Secure Note's contents without prompting for the master password. The prompt only appears when attempting to edit the note.

No response

Additional Context

This issue poses a security risk, as sensitive information within Secure Notes can be accessed without proper authentication, contrary to the intended function of the "Master Password Re-prompt" feature.

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.
