Description

I'm using version 1.10-pre of Keepass2Android on android 13.
I have a database online that I'm using from my PC, phone, and I want to also use it on my tablet.
The first time I opened Keepass2Android on the tablet, it asked whether I wanted biometric identification, I said yes, and immediately got an error message, but I kept going.
When trying to open my usual database, I get an "invalid password" error. The very same password i'm trying works on PC and phone.
I suspect that the biometrics option has been recorded somewhere and is preventing me from opening. I tried to delete the app's data, to empty the cache, to uninstall then reinstall, but I alwawys get a message that the online version and the cache are syncrhonized, this before trying to open with my password.
I think that it means that the cached db is never deleted, and keeps a "biometrics" indication. So how can I find it and delete it ? I don't have root access on the tablet.
