Description

If I only enter the password I have no problems, but if I enable biometric authentication, it opens the first time, and then after syncing the file to the cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, or another service), when I try to open it again...It displays a pop-up warning that the key set is invalid, forcing me to import or restore a backup to use it without problems. That is, unless I activate biometrics.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported sequence: open with biometric authentication, sync the file through Dropbox, Google Drive, or another cloud service, then try to open it again. Investigate the invalid-key-set warning and verify that the file can be reopened after syncing without requiring import, backup restoration, or disabling biometrics.
