I’ve been running my own server for a few years.

I can still connect to it from the BitWarden extension in Chrome.

If I connect to it from BitWarden extension in Firefox, it loads the vault, shows that I have 1107 password records (which is the correct number), but all of them are blank. The whole list of 1107 items. I can click on them, and they open, showing me all the fields…All Blank.

If I connect to vwarden via the BitWarden phone app, I get one of 2 or 3 different errors. “We were unable to process your request. Please try again or contact us” is the most prevalent. I can look in the vwarrden log and it will show no errors, just 2 API calls that both returned 200 OK.

If I use the official bw cli, version 2024.7.2 (I’m now scared to update!!) It works perfectly.

Anyone else seen these problems?

I really really don’t want to move away from bitwarden/vaultwarden.

Thank you!

Which version of Vaultwarden are you running?

BlackDex,

Thank you for the quick response, which I missed because I was still researching.

I was running `vaultwarden:latest`. Among other things, I rekeyed from the webUI. I looked at PR 5259, and tried to verify that I was running 1.32.6, but the log file says “Starting … Version 1.32.0” I think that is a build bug. I tried a few more things I found in issue 5237.

I read about the `4` versus `null, 0, 1`. You did not mention in there how to fix the 4 for a mere user `:-P`…

I backed up everything, then started from scratch. `rm ~/vw-data; docker rm vaultwarden`

Then I just started up the same image, set the URL in the admin page, and then created a new acct and imported the export of my data.

Now everything works.

But I can spin up a clone of it from today, before I rebuilt VW, if you want to investigate further.

Or just install 1.32.6 by pulling in the recent image.  
Something like

```sh
docker pull vaultwarden/server:latest 

```

Should work, but you still need to remove and recreate the container afterwards.

The reason i didn’t explained how people could fix it is because i fixed it in code and running the latest version should solve your issues.

Agreed, however I did all the steps, recreating a new container, and the new version still did not fix mine. Hopefully I am the only person with the “broken in yet another way” database… 🙂

But I will keep the snapshot around in case you want someone to run a HAR file if someone else runs into the problem again and the new version does not fix it for them either.

Thank you!

Merry Christmas  
I had exactly the same problem. When I tried to access the vault in Android 14 I got an error (an error occurred …).  
Vaultwarden runs as a docker on a private address and everything is fine. I can see through the web interface that the server is running and I have access to every item in the vault (or pay card).  
When I checked the logs for the problem, I also saw 2 lines and 200 OK.  
It didn’t work for a few days and then I started to deal with it. First I reinstalled the bitwarden app, but that didn’t help. I reinstalled it again, set it up and it’s been working ever since.

Today I had the same thing happen to me as wwalker in the first post. I opened biwarden on android and the vault is empty. In google chrome everything is OK  
My ver. vaultwarden is 1.30.3.  
I’ll try reinstalling it.

BTW I have the bitwarden app installed on two smartphones. It works great on Android 13 and has problems on Android 14.

Today I reinstalled to 1.32.7. If I logged in to the bitwarden plugin on android 14, the vault was still empty. I restarted the phone and reinstalled the bitwarden app and now it’s fine.

Hi, same problem here.  
Since the Bitwarden update got installed on android phones i am unable to view some vaultwarden accounts. Message “… please try again later …” (translated, different source language)  
Server is on latest / 1.32.7  
Traefik logs show ok (status 200 log)

On Android:  
Some accounts do work, some don’t (all on same server, Docker stack with traefik frontend, non standard web port), so i don’t think it is a setup problem.  
[EDIT]: In the not working accounts, it is possible to view the folders in the vault settings but not view the entries in the main view. So i think the transfer of the database from server to client is working but displaying the entries fails [/EDIT]

Could be some problem with the internal database of bitwarden?

WebVault, Desktop Vault: everything OK  
Tried switching to Argon2id, no difference  
Tried reinstall App, clear cache & data, reboot phones, no difference.  
Did not try to recreate the accounts, i try to prevent this steps if possible.

[EDIT2]  
**Workaround / Fix:**  
Web Vault Export to encrypted JSON, delete all entries from affected vault and import again does fix the problem in the Android APP. Tested in 2 affected accounts on different Android devices.  
For a single user this is a valid workaround but for a group/organisation/association this would cause problems.  
I suspect the problem on the client side, not the server.  
[/EDIT2]

For me updating the server fixed the issue.
