vaultwarden version:

1.29.1

Install method:

Vaultwarden was installed via Podman.

Clients used:

Bitwarden Linux Flatpak and Windows Store Version 2023.8.2

Reverse proxy and version:

nginx-1.20.1-1.module_el8 (AlmaLinux)

MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL version:

Postgresql-server-12.15-1.module_el8

Other relevant details:

Steps to reproduce

Vaulwarden is startet via Podman as a User and Userspace systemd. Like everytime.

Expected behaviour

Login via Bitwarden Desktop (Linux and Windows)

Actual behaviour

Login via E-Mail and Masterpassword is successful, but it does not open the vault, instead a SSO Setup Wizzard starts and asks for a new Masterpassword, entering it brings an error Messsage in Bitwarden. Browser extension still works same as vaultwardens webvault.

Troubleshooting data

Sorry this is a german screenshot, this popups right after login with email and password, of course the server was set to self hosted with url redirecting to vaultwarden, all this works fine until the Bitwarden update.

Should be fixed by #3813 (can you test with testing once the current build is complete)?
