Do not ask for the hardware key after the initial unlock

Open FrAllard opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I wish I would not need the hardware key everytime I unlock the database.

Here how I see it.

First time I open the database after a reboot I have to provide the master password along with my hardware key. Then I give it my Windows Hello credentials.

When the dabatase lock itself or I lock it, from that point I'm being asked only Window Hello, recently I added a Yubikey and I found out that I need the Yubikey constantly connected to my computer to use KeePassXC.

I wish I cloud give it the key once during first unlock and once Windows Hello has been enabled I should not need to connect my hardware key anymore, until the next reboot (or disconnection).

Keepass2android does it exactly like that. If QuickUnlock gets upset it's going to ask for the hardware key, but if I keep QuicUnlock happy I only have to present my fingerprint to unlock and modify the database.
