Subject of the issue

The latest version of Vaultwarden does not appear to be compatible with the Bitwarden on mobile.

Bitwarden claims this is an issue with Vaultwarden: https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/issues/2591 Maybe they are right, maybe not. Either way there seems to be a comparability issue somewhere, and there is no debug logs that i have found that were helpful in identifying the cause.

From Bitwarden mobile app's perspective, these are the steps taken:

  • Start Bitwarden
  • Select "Self Hosted"
  • Enter secure https url to self-host
  • Enter valid email address
  • Continue
  • Message appears: "We were unable to process your request. Please try again or contact us. "

Error message appears whenever we have a valid email. If i enter a nonsense email, it does not pop the error.
(Login fails no matter what at this point.)

Please let me know if there is any hidden debug features I can turn on to help debug and find solution to this.

Solution discovered.
Updated from vaultwarden/server:1.28.0 to vaultwarden/server:1.28.1. (I could have sworn I already did that, but i probably messed up somewhere)

Hopefully i did not waste anyone's time.
