Originally created by @fiorins on GitHub (Feb 25, 2026).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6579

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to one entry
  2. Click on password history

Expected Result

It should be a sorted list but it is not.
I uploaded screenshots from the web app because it was difficult for me to edit them from the mobile, but the order is the same as what appears on the app.

The two edited screens are entries that I don't remember where I created, whether mobile or web, but the other "mobile test" I created and edited only on mobile.

Actual Result

a mixed list not sorted by timestamps

Screenshots or Videos

Another user here.

And just for clarification: all three screenshots you did provide can't be from the Android app. - The Android app does not have the "header" Item history and the order of "Created:" etc. is different. The Android still looks like this in this section, even on version 2026.2.0:

PS: So, I think you should at least clarify, if you only created and edited those vault items on the Android app before. -- And/or otherwise, it might be an issue with the other BW apps as well.

Okay, but then it remains also unclear if only the mobile app "caused" this, right?

And whatever causes this - when it happens, it's not only "showing" in the mobile app then...

As @pamperer562580892423 mentioned, there is a PR for this update here.

The fix should appear in the production app in a few weeks.

@bwbug commented on GitHub (Mar 20, 2026):

@david-livefront @djsmith85 As shown in this discussion, the root cause of the problem is that the Android app is adding password history entries to the back of the list, but all other apps are adding changed passwords to the front of the list. Thus, for a user who makes password changes on both Android and non-Android devices, this inconsistency results in a randomly ordered password history. The PR will fix the display of the such disordered lists when viewed in the Android app, but won't the password history still be disordered when viewed on other devices? Instead of just fixing the symptom of the problem, wouldn't it have made more sense to just have the Android app add entries to the front of the history list, to be consistent with the other client apps and extensions?

@david-livefront commented on GitHub (Mar 23, 2026):

I have made an additional PR to ensure that Android always persists the password history in a sorted manner.

This will not affect the existing sort-order but it will fix the issue the next time you update the cipher.
