I have been using bitwarden without an issue on fedora with AppImages for quite a while but since last update just after pressing enter after my password it crashes without any warning and closes. I did increased my encryption key settings but years ago I use: Argon2id, KDF iterations 6, KDF memory 1024, KDF parallelism 4. My guess is last update did something that limits maybe memory or something? As I could not find anything about this on the internet is not a common issue. I did erase the .config/Bitwarden folder to see if there was a corruption or something there but the crash persists.
last part of app.log (the last thing i did was try to log and it crashed so it should be here at the end)

It seems, you already deleted the local storage, and since that didn’t change anything, it sounds like a bug to me at first sight (so maybe a bug report on GitHub might be also reasonable → https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues → “New issue”).
I’m not that familiar with the Linux packages, but you might download a desktop version prior to 2025.1.1 as a temporary solution.
I just tried with a new account without changing key settings and I was able to login so it has to do with something related to memory or something that is now limited.
then i tried changing to argon and this different options:
just the one with 1024 memory did not let me get in being 1024 the limit of KDF memory allowed to use but the AppImage does not allowed the 1024 but it does 1023 of memory.
