Vaultwarden Build Version

1.35.4

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

Nginx 1.29.4

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Debian 12

Clients

Desktop

Client Version

2026.2.1

Steps To Reproduce

When opening the browser extension to login or clicking continue in the client, the log in with device button does not appear. An error is included in the logs.

Expected Result

The /api/devices/knowndevice endpoint works correctly.

Actual Result

/api/devices/knowndevice response 400 Bad Request.

Over the past few days, I have found that I cannot log in with device on the browser extension. After checking the client, the device login works fine on version 2025.12.1, and the related API has no errors. However, after upgrading to the latest 2026.2.1 version, the API becomes abnormal, which prevents device login from working properly.

Thanks for the report. This should be an easy fix. For now, there is not much we can do to mitigate this in some away but to await the fix.
