Dear users and support team.

I am now using Zen Browser (based on Firefox) for nearly a month now and loved it ever since. If there was not this one problem, I had, that forced me to switch browsers.

Like in any other browser I have used before, I was able to import and save my passwords from various websites, so that I do not have to remember them fully by myself. I expected, that I could use my fingerprint sensor, or at least my PIN-Code to confirm my passwords, when automatically entering them. However, if i want to log into a website, which requires a password, my password is always automatically, without me ever touching anything entered. So I went into the settings of the browser and toggled the button "Fill usernames and passwords automatically" off. So now they would not pop up automatically anymore and I was happy. This did not last very long however, because, when I wanted to enter the password and authenticate myself before filling in the password by clicking on the pop-up window beneath the password-entering, I can enter my saved passwords without ever scanning my fingerprint reader, typing in my pin or using any other authentication method. I tried various times to change the setting "Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords" from on to off and back again, hoping it would work in some way. I am seriously sad a bit, because I never had a this good and fluid working browser until now. If you cannot help me out here, I see myself forced to use another browser, where I can actually and securely safe my passwords.

Thank you!
