Any way in Firefox to "enter the master password" (asked frequently) by fingerprint scan.

Apps requiring pin/password these days offer the option to enter it by fingerprint scan. (For security reason, some still ask pin occasionally/after restart/...). Since firefox asks the master password quite often (Android behavior i understood, ok), this would be particularly helpful. Any plugin, android feature/... i could use for that?

Hi

That is currently not an option in Firefox for Android, but is something that may be considered in the future for our newer browser, Firefox Preview.
