Description

Checks
  • I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:

I opened https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/issues/2147 for my old tablet. Similar issue. Issue received no comment.

On my new tablet, Xiaomi Pad 6 (MIUI version 14.0.11.0, Android 13 TKQ1.221114.001) the app continues to get closed by the system after a day or so. I have to completely reauthenticate with password and location of key file.

I have set "battery saver" setting in app to "no restrictions" but this made no difference.

Describe what you expected to happen:

I expect the app to still be open, and to not have to re-authenticate.

What version of Keepass2Android are you using?

1.10-pre

Which version of Android are you on?

MIUI version 14.0.11.0, Android 13 TKQ1.221114.001, security update 2023-12-01

Research direction

Start by comparing this report with the linked issue 2147 and investigate the app's behavior after Android or MIUI closes it in the background. Use the reported Xiaomi Pad 6, Android 13, MIUI 14.0.11.0, and Keepass2Android 1.10-pre details to reproduce the reauthentication requirement. Done means the app remains available without requiring the password and key-file location again.
