I’ve seen for example that the a relativly new Kensington fingerprintreader (VeriMark Guard USB-A/C) seems to store up to 10 fingerprints secureley encrypted on the device itself so that the confirmation check if a fingerprint was correct is done internally in the device and handed back to the operating system. But is there no way to replace the somehow inconvenient something that I remember-token by the lot more convenient something that I am-token or maybe - which I would even consider the very best option - additionally / as alternative to the master password? Somehow it seems odd to me: I have perfectly unique biometrical attributes engraved into my fingertips, which could all be considered perfect unique master passwords. I understood it in the following manner: I need at least 2 of these factors to authenticate: I mean: The whole story about FIDO2 is to ultimately make secure 2FA passwordless authentication possible. And fingerprint plus security key just seems to be a really nice combination. Is there any fingerprint reader on the market, which will enable what I am trying to do or is this feature just not possible at the moment? I really need that sort of passwordless convenience in combination with safety. I had a look at the Kensington webpage and they advertise that their verimark Fingerprint Key is FIDO U2F and Windows Hello compatible and works with several password managers but bitwarden is not in the list. But if I do so I will always have to type in my master password as well, which is kind of bulky as it is a secure password with somewhat like 20 digits… What I actually want to achieve is to force bitwarden to log out after a relativly short time because it is the only possibility at the moment to force that the security key needs to be used (which I consider the only real safety for me). Can anyone tell me if I can just buy a Kensington usb fingerprint reader with my windows 10 PC and then use it to authenticate to bitwarden (desktop app and especially browser extentions of Chrome/Firefox) instead of my master password?
