PSA: the bitwarden clients got an upgrade that makes them incompatible with vaultwarden

github.com English

If you got the automatic updates on the bitwarden clients, they will show an empty vault if you are selfhosting vaultwarden.

It seems to be an accidental bug in the bitwarden clients that are assuming that they’re talking with official servers

It’s fixed with the latest release of the vaultwarden server that was published a few minutes ago

      “Accidental” — you are far more trusting than I

      Thanks, probably saved me a lot of headache on my laptop browsers. Fortunately, I don’t use the official Bitwarden client on android partly because this seems to keep happening.

      I do love docker + a front end like dockge.

      Saw this post, switched to my browser, clicked three buttons; vaultwarden is now updated. Didn’t even move my lazy ass off the couch. (I’m on my phone)

      Thanks for the PSA! :)

        I love podman quadlets, I didn’t do anything and it updated itself 😁

      Do not update any bitwarden client until you can update vaultwarden

        Switching to Passbolt right now. I have the feeling this is the beginning of the enshitification of Bitwarden.

          Such bugs have already appeared in the past. It’s only logical that this happens from time to time, as the creators of bitwarden don’t test the compatobility with 3rd party servers.

          What is important is that they’re not deliberately blocking vaultwarden.

      Was wondering why it suddenly was stuck loading, thanks!

        Yeah I updated bitearden yesterday and my vault would not load any items. Glad this bug is already fixed!

      Thank you for this. I thought I was going insane. Time to turn auto updates off

        Per the vault warden release notes:

        We strongly advice to update as soon as possible.

        With the vulnerabilities being patched these days, it seems ill asvised to disable automatic updates for something as critical as a password manager.

          it seems ill asvised to disable automatic updates

          I use the WatchTower fork for now, but I use it with the run once flag:

           volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: --run-once --cleanup

          So, when an update is available, I’ll delay updating until I am rather comfortable that all the early adopters have worked out all the bugs for me. LOL Thanks guys! You’re an invaluable service.
