Changing password on 2nd computer causes password errs on first computer

I have used Bitwarden for several years. I got a new computer and have started using Bitwarden on it as well. I changed the master password on the new computer and it works there. But neither the new nor the old password work on the old computer. The new password gives an err “Invalid master password”. The old password gives an err “No key provided. Lock the user to clear the key”. I don’t understand how to coordinate the two computers so that I can use Bitwarden on either one. In summary, how can I get Bitwarden to work on the old computer? Thank you.

Now would be a good time to, create an export using the working computer. If things somehow get worse, having a backup is a great stress-reliever. A password-protected JSON exports is the best choice.

On the old computer, make sure you logout (not just lock). This will force the vault to be freshly downloaded from the cloud. If that does not do it, try uninstalling/reinstalling and maybe deleting the local storage to remove any remnants of the old credential.
