Description
### Steps To Reproduce
Just launch the app or use bitwarden to fill passwords, code etc...
### Expected Result
Just a simple faceID trigger with the bitwarden background and no epileptic stuff hapenning on the screen
### Actual Result
The app starts with faceID (normal) but for a brief moment I see the master password form flickering, the keyboard appearing and disappearing quickly.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the flicker on an iPhone 16 Pro using build 26.5, launching the app and invoking Bitwarden password or code autofill with FaceID. Trace the startup and FaceID/password-form transition that produces the keyboard flash. Done means FaceID appears normally without the master-password form or keyboard briefly flickering.
