WebAuthn

Webauthn allows to quick unlock the vault. This can be either the built-in browser authenticator or an external authenticator like a Yubikey.

At the time of writing (2024-10-04), only some browsers support the required PRF extension. In order to make it work in Chrome, you need to enable the PRF extension in the browser settings.

Chrome

1. Open the Chrome browser and navigate to chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features.
2. Enable the Experimental Web Platform features flag.
3. Restart the browser.
4. Now it should be possible to use the built-in chrome password manager to unlock the vault.
5. Go to Menu -> Security Settings -> Quick Vault Unlock and enable it.
