Hey all,  
i have an issue (for a long time) that my Firefox browser never keeps me logged in.

If I do my first ever initial login, i enter my Email and Password. And then 2FA.

When I refresh my browser session (F5), it brings me to the Vault Lock:

If I close the session, and reopen a new tab right after, it brings me here:

As you see, it asks for my email and then my password. I DO NOT need to reenter my 2FA. 2FA is only being asked once.

But every new tab i open, im back at the Email Screen. It doesnt even remember the Email.

About my Configuration:

- Running on Raspberry Pi 4GB 64-bit Raspbian Bullseye
- Running vaultwarden:latest/testing
- My docker compose for Vaultwarden (updated it recently, but the old version i had had the same issue):

```auto
version: '2'
services:
  bitwarden:
    image: vaultwarden/server:testing
    container_name: bitwarden
    hostname: bitwarden
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
      - "3012:3012"
    volumes:
      - Bitwarden:/data
    environment:
      LOG_FILE: '/data/vaultwarden.log'
      TZ: 'Europe/Berlin'	  
      INVITATIONS_ALLOWED: 'false'
      SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: 'false'	  
      ADMIN_TOKEN: '$$argon2idXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      PUSH_ENABLED: 'true'
      PUSH_INSTALLATION_ID: 'e8e44e47-XXXXXXXXX'
      PUSH_INSTALLATION_KEY: 'ZurXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      SHOW_PASSWORD_HINT: 'false'
    restart: always
volumes:
  Bitwarden:
    external: true

```

Also here my nginx conf:

```auto
# The `upstream` directives ensure that you have a http/1.1 connection
# This enables the keepalive option and better performance
# Define the server IP and ports here.
upstream vaultwarden-default {
  zone vaultwarden-default 64k;
  server 127.0.0.1:8080;
  keepalive 2;
}

# Needed to support websocket connections
# See: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/websocket.html
# Instead of "close" as stated in the above link we send an empty value.
# Else all keepalive connections will not work.
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    '' "";
}

# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name bitwarden.furrkan.de;

    if ($host = bitwarden.furrkan.de) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
    return 404;
}

server {
    # For older versions of nginx appened http2 to the listen line after ssl and remove `http2 on`
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name bitwarden.furrkan.de;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitwarden.furrkan.de/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitwarden.furrkan.de/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;
    ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitwarden.furrkan.de/fullchain.pem;

    client_max_body_size 525M;

    location / {
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;

      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

      proxy_pass http://vaultwarden-default;
    }

    # Optionally add extra authentication besides the ADMIN_TOKEN
    # Remove the comments below `#` and create the htpasswd_file to have it active
    #
    #location /admin {
    # # See: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/
    # auth_basic "Private";
    # auth_basic_user_file /path/to/htpasswd_file;
    #
    # proxy_http_version 1.1;
    # proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    # proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    #
    # proxy_set_header Host $host;
    # proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    #
    # proxy_pass http://vaultwarden-default;
    #}
}

```

As final thing, i have checked also via F12 in Firefox the Console for any Errors. These Errors come when open a new firefox tab (after initial login with 2FA, the screen popos up with enter email (See above):

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/vaultwarden/original/2X/0/055b865bb766d23051f20e82b0c31c73200c634b.png)  
I dont think anything really in here related to my issue (Cloudflare and font ones are imo not related to this, i switched to cloudflare recently and the issue was existing before it too)

Im open for any ideas, thanks!

PS: I tried Edge in Incognito too, same issue.

Incognito will always forget your login of course.

There might be other extensions which block cookies or clean them.  
Those are known to cause these kind of issues.

_Incognito will always forget your login of course._

→ What i meant is that when I start an Incognito Session, and then login with 2fa etc and refresh the tab. The logins isnt forgotten until i close the whole incongito browser

_There might be other extensions which block cookies or clean them._  
_Those are known to cause these kind of issues._  
 → As i have mentioned, i always tried Edge with no Addons, same issue.
