Subject of the issue

I created a new login item in the bitwarden beta iOS app. (TO BE CLEAR: I'M AWARE IT IS A BETA, BUT THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING ON VAULTWARDENS BACK END THAT CAUSED IT - NOT SURE). I changed the Owner to an organization, and then set the collection. I hit save, and got an error that ready: Cryptography error, The cipger's MAC doesn't match the expected value. Now I cannot log into vaultwarden. Tried on the web, windows app, mac app, beta ios app, and non-beta ios app. All either load infinitely, say wrong user/pass, or crash.

Deployment environment

  • Install method:
    Unraid, docker

  • Clients used:
    iOS app, Windows app, mac app.

  • Reverse proxy and version:
    Cloudflare tunnels

  • MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL version:

  • Other relevant details:

Steps to reproduce

Create login using bitwardens beta app on iOS (note; I did this in the app, not in the passwords autofill pop up). Set organization. Set collection. Save, and that is when I got the error

Expected behaviour

To save the new item to the collection/organization

Actual behaviour

App crashed, and broke database so I cannot get it back up. Had to delete account and start from scratch (again, I know it's a beta, I have backups of all data)

What vaultwarden version did you use? Because the issue sounds like the one that has been fixed by #4800

Yeah... that might be my bad. I let auto update do its thing so have a habit of assuming I'm on the latest. I'm on 1.31.0 which appears not to be the latest. I'll update it.

And yup, I'm just dumb for not checking the update. Fixed. I'll mark as closed.
