Unlocking Cryptomator vault with fingerprint in Windows 11?

cris · August 2, 2022, 8:46am

Hi, I am using Cryptomator for Android and I can unlock a vault with my fingerprint. It is very convenient.
I am also using Cryptomator for Windows but I cannot find how to unlock with fingerprint , is it possible to do this ?

When you are a FOSS enthousiast it is an important feature as Bitwarden is not able to auto-complete desktop app password, (only in a web browser). Regards

Welcome to the Cryptomator Community ,

No, this is currently not possible.

That’s a pity, it would be very useful. Is this feature within the next implementations ? if not is there a ticket for it that I could vote for?

Your Android app does that, I find this great.

## Basic Info I'm using Windows 10 with Cryptomator 1.3.4. ## Description … Hi, I'm using Windows 10 and now see security apps using the Windows Hello feature for local accounts linked to a Microsoft account. Dashlane 6.0 is one of them, asking me my PIN code or my fingerprint when available. Cryptomator can store the vaults' passwords and it would be neat to protect it via Windows Hello when available. It would make remembering it more convenient and (a bit) more secure imho. Thanks in advance, Guénaël.

Thank you, I have added a comment on github about this feature.

In parallel, when looking at Cryptomator feature, I have seen this:

There is only “Windows Data Protection” here but I was wondering if you can other ways like Bitwarden?

Checking in on this feature request. I thumbs-up’d the gitghub request as well. A question: is this in the roadmap at all, or is just a feature request, eg a “wish”, at this point in time?
