Interestingly, the latest versions of bitwarden for mac that are available for download from github no longer work with biometric authentication, requiring the user to download the app from the app store in order to use that functionality.

I wonder why that is. Do App Store Applications get extra privileges?

Why isn’t being signed enough for an application to store secrets only it can access in the keychain?

I too wonder. The App Store version did ask for keychain access for the biometric data, while the non-app store version did not (and never asked for that, to my knowledge).
