Troubleshooting data

Normally, BItwarden only provides the password hint via email. This is a Vaultwarden-specific feature that allows the hint to be provided when the user hasn't set up email service:
3968bc8016/src/config.rs (L391-L393)Though personally, I think this option should've been disabled by default.
@pepa65 commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2021):
Yes, please disable by default!
@Robin-Sch commented on GitHub (Jul 13, 2021):
Yeah, but the current way is that it shows as "An error has occurred", and as "error" the password hint. While it's not an error?
@jjlin commented on GitHub (Jul 13, 2021):
It's not an error, but Bitwarden doesn't support this feature natively, so this is a Vaultwarden-specific hack that uses an error message to display the data. That's just the only way to do it.
#1848 will disable this setting by default. People who want password hints should just set up SMTP service and use that instead, anyway.

Closing because PR #1848 has been merged
