Opening multiple databases with Windows Hello replaces the currently focused database #1

Hi,

As someone with multiple databases with different master keys I've noticed a problem when trying to open more than one database. I've opted for using Windows Hello.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have multiple databases with different master keys.
  2. Enable the Windows Hello setting in this plug-in.
  3. Protect multiple databases with this plug-in using individual key store type.
  4. Restart KeePass.
  5. Open one of the databases protected by this plug-in. (This will be fine.)
  6. While the first database is open, now open a second database protected by this plug-in.

At this point the first database will no longer be open, it will be replaced by the second.

If I cancel the Windows Hello prompt and enter my master key traditionally, the second database opens as an additional tab as expected, leaving the first opened database in place. This unfortunately defeats the point of the plug-in with a multi database scenario.

Please let me know if any further details are necessary.

(KeePass 2.59 with plug-in 1.2.1 on Windows 11.)
