I started having issues opening a password protected entry across extensions/desktop/mobile. Went to https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/ and there are a bunch of posts in the past few days talking about similar issues

How do you guys keep your Bitwarden backed up? This reminded me to properly set that up. For now, I just exported the file and left it encrypted on a separate drive.

    I’m not sure if this issue was with Bitwarden’s own hosted version, but I’ve noticed on multiple occasions that it gets weird and it’s always a version mismatch issue. I got this master password prompt because my browser extensions auto update, my server does not. I updated VaultWarden on my server and that resolved the issue.

    They really need to add version warnings in the clients. e.g. “your server is in X.X.X and is out of date for use with this app and may not work properly, continue?”.

    As for backups - I use Docker and backup my entire VaultWarden instance daily. If something goes wrong I can restore an older backup and try again.

    It’s definetly a good idea to export a backup just in case. I have a local desktop backup with KeePassXC and every couple of months or so I export the file, encrypt it and upload a copy on proton drive and another on a personal external drive

      Any quick guides on how to set up the keypads portion? Does it automatically sync or do you schedule it

        You mean the keypads for KeepassXC? There is a list of shortcuts for it, but maybe I misunderstood your question.

        The database syncs automatically whenever you edit anything, but to be safe I manually create an updated copy and upload it myself to always have an updated copy in case of loss (which has happened to me before with a previous laptop lol).

        IF you wanted, it also has a browser extension, just like Bitwarded does

    Every browser extension and mobile app keeps a copy. Between 2 PC’s, 1 Macbook, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone I think I will survive a server crash

      Not really a server crash but a bug that stops you from unlocking the vault. I guess going to an earlier version of it might help, but that would take time if you needed something quickly

    I go do a manual export to CSV every few weeks, then store that in a cryptomator vault I use for important stuff.

        I use cryptomator to encrypt what im uploading ahead of time.

        Its one of the rare times where Google pays off. G drive is relatively secure and cryptomator makes it decently private.

    i had this issue too, deactivated it on all items.

    not optimal because i had master password confirmation on the main accounts.

    my issue was mainly on mobile.

    • clicked autocomplete on something with master password confirmation
    • the poup up for the master password appears
    • write master password
    • click ok
    • app crash
