  3. Tap "Notifications".
  4. Tap on the switch for "All Bitwarden notifications"

Expected Result

I should be able to toggle the "All Bitwarden notifications" on and off.

The "All Bitwarden notifications" stays off, as if it's permanently toggled off.

Hello there,

Fdroid version does not have Google Play Services, or push notification ability.

Thank you for the info.

Due to this, I think that there should be a conditional warning that appears when a user tries to activate "log in with device" in the F-Droid version; or at least state this more clearly in the documentation page for this feature.

There are alternatives to Firebase Cloud Messaging, such as UnifiedPush. Is there a possibility that the F-droid version supports it in the future?
