Description

### Steps To Reproduce

Biometrics login stopped working on Huawei P30 Pro (Android 10)
Steps / Background

Biometric login stopped working only in Bitwarden.

Biometric authentication still works correctly in other applications, including banking apps (for example Revolut and local banking/service apps in my country).

I recently added a new fingerprint to the device. I understand that after adding a new fingerprint it is necessary to re-enable biometrics in applications again.

However, in Bitwarden it is now impossible to enable biometric login again.

Device information
Device: Huawei P30 Pro
Android version: Android 10
EMUI / Software version: 12.0.0.149
Device state:
- not rooted
- bootloader locked

Bitwarden app version: 2026.4.0
- Installed from Google Play Store

### Expected Result

I should be able to re-enable "Unlock with biometrics" on my device.

### Actual Result

Biometric unlock no longer works and cannot be enabled again in Bitwarden, while biometrics continue to work normally in other apps.
