[BUG] App fails to open when biometric auth is enabled

[raxod502]

TL;DR

This is a bug in Android 14 that was reported to Google in September and hasn't been fixed yet. There are two available workarounds:

For users of version 1.13.5 (courtesy jmandel)

• Reboot your device, then immediately launch Password Store and disable the biometric authentication feature.

For users of version 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT

• Switch to the latest snapshot build which comes with the biometric authentication feature disabled

Original issue contents below.

Describe the bug

Sometime in the last few days, it became no longer possible to open the app. When tapping it from the home screen, the screen transitions to a black screen momentarily and then crashes back to home. Logs are attached.

This appears to be related to biometric authentication. When clearing all user data, I can open the app, and set up a password repository, and enter and exit the app multiple times. However, when enabling the option to require biometric input to open the app, this behavior occurs as soon as the app is exited and then opened again. This was not previously the case, but I don't know what changed.

Similar symptom to #1044 but it only started happening for me in the last week or so.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch the app for the first time
2. Immediately enter settings, enable the biometric authentication requirement in the general section, authenticate to enable
3. Exit the app and close it from the app switcher
4. Try opening again
5. App crashes

Expected behavior

When biometric authentication is enabled, the app should prompt for it when opening, and after authentication is provided, should open.

[raxod502]

I compiled 8c5655c from source (free version) and ran the same steps as above on it. Same result. This suggests to me that what changed is not something in a recent version of APS, but rather something in my environment that is now triggering a bug. This is not conclusive evidence, however. I had trouble compiling older versions due to Gradle errors, and did not investigate further, but I can if it would be helpful information.

[msfjarvis]

Nothing in the logs jumps out as problematic, I'm out for the week so will have to wait for the next weekend before I can take a proper look.

[AquaMorph]

I have also hit this as an issue. I am also running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7 and I think what caused it to happen is the recent GrapheneOS update as that is when I started having this issue.

I plugged in my phone and looked at the logcat when I try to launch the app and I get the following errors every time I try to launch it.

Yeah this all but confirms it's a bug in GrapheneOS. Can either of you check with another app that uses biometrics and see if the behaviour is identical? I expect it to be since logs indicate as much but more evidence never hurts a debugging process.

[AquaMorph]

I have several other apps that use biometrics and they all work without any issues. Password Store is the only app I have seen this behavior on.

[msfjarvis]

That's quite odd, I suppose I'm misreading the logs somehow and it's an APS bug after all. I'll test it on a Pixel in a bit and see what's up.

[msfjarvis]

Now that I'm on my laptop I can see the issue, the app isn't actually crashing. In @raxod502's log, there's this line:

12-09 22:23:05.818 12679 12679 D BiometricAuthenticator: onAuthenticationError(errorCode=10, msg=Authentication canceled)

which indicates that the prompt is being canceled immediately, and in response the activity handling pre-launch auth finishes itself and cleanly closes the app.

I have neither the mental nor network bandwidth to investigate this for now so as a stopgap solution I'm disabling the feature and preventing it from being enabled manually. When I'm back home on Friday I'll pick this up on priority.

[msfjarvis]

The snapshot build for the workaround is up, affected users can update to it to regain functionality.

[viliev]

Hello everyone,

I've been exploring the latest version encountered something unusual for the first time. Whenever I attempt to access the username and password details of an entity, a new window pops up asking for a password. Interestingly, if I click 'OK' without entering any information, it still reveals the password to me. However, I'm curious to know if there's a way to disable or remove this new prompt. Any insights or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

[msfjarvis]

@viliev please file a separate issue.

[psanford]

I've started to see this same issue as well on stock Android 14 on a Pixel 8.

[msfjarvis]

I looked into this for an hour or so yesterday and didn't find any particular reason for why this is happening suddenly or at all. Google recommends relaunching the biometric prompt when receiving the specific error code we're seeing so I'll try that next.

[durka]

FWIW, I'm seeing this also with stock Android 14 on my Pixel 7. I think it started to happen with the most recent Android update. Previously APS would flash the biometric authentication screen, it would disappear, and then right away come up again and accept biometrics. Now the screen just darkens briefly and then nothing happens. I will attempt to use the snapshot build as a workaround, although I have been using the F-Droid version with OpenKeychain so it looks like a pain to migrate as there is no way that I can tell to export my keys to a file that APS can read :(

[gwario]

same for me on pixel 7pro android 14.
this is especially tragic because it seems i can still create new passwords but can't access nor push them to a remote repo.
i am pretty sure this happens since the December update

[msfjarvis]

Just to confirm, this is happening on both the 2.x snapshot releases as well as the 1.13.5 stable build?

[mandre]

Correct, I started seeing the same issue with the 1.13.5 build. On a pixel phone as well.

[msfjarvis]

Great, another question for everyone: Can you confirm you are running the QPR beta builds?

[mandre]

Great, another question for everyone: Can you confirm you are running the QPR beta builds?

I'm not. I'm running the UQ1A.231205.015 build.

[jonpikum]

Pixel 4a running CalyxOS 5.2.0, and looks like UQ1A.291205.015 - also experiencing this issue. (Edit: Using F-Droid build btw)

I could be mistaken but it looks like someone reported this to Google back in September.
The issue says they experienced it with U1B1.230908.003?

There seem to be a handful of semi-recent bug reports related to biometrics that seem like they could be relevant, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to say for sure.
Perhaps something will jump out at someone else here.

[msfjarvis]

The issue affects both 1.13.x and 2.x release trains on all versions of Android 14, and seems to only impact the app launch prompt. I've left a comment on the Google issue with more context so they can hopefully identify the bug, since I find it hard pressed to believe this is a problem with the app if it has worked since 2019 and still does work in all places but one.

[kirelagin]

Yep, sorry for not reporting here. It was clear to me that the issue was on the Android side, so I went straight to Google (and I also kinda assumed that they were contacting the developers of affected apps when receiving a bug report 🙄). It looked bad enough so I was sure they’d fix it while still in beta and then I completely forgot about it after disabling the prompt.

[kirelagin]

Cross-posting from their tracker: it looks like this might have been fixed in QPR2 Beta 2, so would be great if someone could test (I am not on beta anymore).

[msfjarvis]

Unfortunately still broken on Beta 2.

[amirhomayoun]

Hi @msfjarvis Do you think it's worth pushing the latest version of the app (with the biometric option disabled) to Google Play store, so people won't need to re-install the APK from github? Once/if the issue is fixed a new version with the biometric option can be pushed.

[msfjarvis]

Google Play will not allow any more builds from the v1.13.x release train to be published on account of too-old target Android version and it is not feasible to fix that on my side without breaking all users of the external storage feature.

Publishing the current snapshot build is also not an option since it simply has too many (breaking) changes to be offered as an automatic upgrade.

[savar]

Trying to reproduce this. Maybe it is already said and I missed that. If I set a debug point on the develop branch (fed1cc8) in BiometricAuthenticator.kt line 70

      BiometricPrompt(
          activity,
          ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(activity.applicationContext),
          authCallback,
        )
        .authenticate(promptInfo)

then after resuming the biometric part pops up and it works fine.. if I do not, then I fall into the onAuthenticationError with the errorCode 10 (User Cancelled).

Not sure if that helps anyhow.

[msfjarvis]

Thanks for attempting to investigate, we've observed the same behavior and confirmed it as a bug in Android 14 itself. The relevant information has been relayed to Google.

[jmandel]

I'm experiencing this behavior on my Pixel 8 Pro with Android 14 -- but notably after restarting my phone, the "crash on open" problem abates briefly.

[singlow]

@jmandel thanks for that comment. I was able to restart my phone and access the app shortly after restart in order to disable the biometric feature. I have a Pixel 7.

[msfjarvis]

Not sure how I missed jmandel's comment but I've updated the OP to add their workaround.

[grandEL-dsouza]

Does this bug also affect Automated testing through Appium and other frameworks?

Cause I got the Apps to launch on the Google Pixel 8 device but there was no popup for the Biometric testing that showed up.

Any insights here would be helpful.

Thanks.

The snapshot builds don't allow the biometric auth feature to be enabled anymore so you'll never get the prompt. You'll have to compile your own build with the commit reverted.
