I have installed the Android version of Bitwarden from the Google Play store onto a brand new phone (TCL 20S) running Android 11. Kernel 4.14.190-perf+. Nov 1, 2021 security patch level.
After I enter my credentials and click “Log In”, I get a pop-up error message with title “An error has occurred” and body:
Exception message: Chain validation failed
It sounds related to the SSL certificate chain. I checked the Bitwarden web site and of course I’ve Googled this message too. It seems typically related to self-hosted instances, which is not what I’m trying to do. I’m just trying to access the public Bitwarden service.
Is my phone perhaps missing trust for a root CA or something? It’s brand new, a 2021 model, and I ran all the updates.
Thank you.
