Greetings,

While the option to change vault KDF iterations to Argon2 is now available in the Web Vault, users should hold on making the change until all Bitwarden client applications are at version 2023.2.0 or later. The setting can be switched back to PBKDF2 for continued usage.

If your issue persists even after reverting, please write us back using our contact form, so we can continue troubleshooting: https://bitwarden.com/contact/
