Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.34.3

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

Nginx Proxy Manager v2.12.4

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6

Clients

Web Vault, Browser Extension

Client Version

Web 2025.7.0, Firefox Extension 2025.8.1

Steps To Reproduce

One user on my server cannot login with the correct master password. We are both 100% sure it's correct, since it was written on a recovery sheet and saved in my vault as a fallback. Login was also tested at setup with the copy of the password in my vault and on the recovery sheet, as well as now. no server settings were modified since the creation of that account

Expected Result

Successful login

Actual Result

Login does not work on. The vault on the already logged in iOS app can still be unlocked with that password.

@BlackDex commented on GitHub:

Passwords do not change by them self, and also not automatically by the server.

Either someway the database gets corrupted and for some reason only that user is affected, but that would be strange. Or, someone tried the org recovery/emergency contact procedure and changed the password.

There is nothing we can do here, since there is no process which changes the password anywhere in the code that isn't started by someone.

I would suggest to check the logs and see if you can find anything between the last successful login and the point it failed.
