  • interfaces:
    • polkit:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: Needed to make “biometric unlock” (system authentication) work out of the box. We install our own policy, and authenticate against it.

Hi! In order to make biometric unlock work on snap, polkit autoconnect is needed. Note: Upstream builds currently don’t make polkit unlock on snap available. Upstream PR adding support: Add snap biometric support by quexten · Pull Request #12187 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub

Thanks for your consideration!
