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

The fingerprint doesn't work on Linux last time I tried

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).
