Overview

In the manual page it is explained this can be disabled: "You can disable this feature in the Application Settings under the Security section."

Since I assume biometric authentication is less strong than entering my password, I'd like the option to disable biometric unlock (I'm using macOS Ventura on a 16-inch, 2023 Macbook Pro). I don't see this option in the preferences.

KeePassXC - Version 2.7.5
Revision: 9d0537b

Qt 5.15.8

  • Auto-Type

If you don't see the setting then that means quick unlock is unavailable on your computer.

Quick Unlock (through biometrics) is certainly available and enabled for KeepassXC on my system. Whenever I lock my database, I can unlock it through TouchID. I just don't seem to be able to disable this. Is there any more debugging information I can provide for this?

Make sure you are looking in the right place and also make sure your laptop lid is open when you are looking there:

I can't seem to take a screenshot of KeepassXC, so I'm including pictures I took from the screen. The option you are showing in your screenshot doesn't seem visible to me. However, in the second image you can see I can unlock the database with biometrics after locking the database.

You can use the view menu to temporarily allow screen shots. This appears to be a bug and possibly related to our dynamic detection of the availability of macos biometrics. Does the option appear if you completely quit out of keepassxc then reopen with the laptop lid open?
