I use and like it

Two questions:

1) How's it do at syncing / conflicts?

2) In the Android app, do you know if there's a way to use the fingerprint feature without storing your master password or an encrypted derivative of it to non-volatile memory?

For those scratching their heads at #2, it's motivated by my lukewarm trust of vendor-implemented components of Android Keystore. Some competing apps address it by making you authenticate with the full password the first time after boot (or after the app is closed by the user / memory management system / configurable timeout) and just tie your fingerprint to an "unlock" pin that only works when the database is "hot".

Which apps handle this better? I'm not supremely concerned about my password being pulled from memory, from an attack surface perspective, but I am curious which apps address this best and how.

Not saying it's the best out there (and the UI is a little clunky as it often flashes a pin input screen that gets skipped over when using your fingerprint), but I like how Keypass2Android can be configured to do it. When you select "Enable Biometric Unlock for Quick Unlock" (and don't disable the PIN feature) you can use your fingerprint as long as the app is still in memory, without it storing your master password.

I know the Android Lastpass client would often prompt for a Master Password if it hadn't been used in a while, then let Fingerprints unlock it. I assumed it did something similar but haven't deep-dived the implementation.

Never had a conflict so far, using on mobile and multiple OS, so I guess it just works I host the vault on the cloud

Regarding 2), no I don't know but good question. Using the same master password is annoying as you don't type the same on mobile
