I’ve been using bitwarden for a year and never seen this problem until two days ago.
Chrome (and all browsers using the Chromium engine Vivaldi and Edge) has lost contact with bitwarden and I have to log in again. Even then, I get the “Error: cannot decrypt” message from Chrome. I have to restart Chrome in order for this work work again.
At the same time, Vivaldi and Edge browser had to log in again, but it did not get the decrypt errors. Android app has not problems but since I have to log in every time, it does not show a disconnection.
Something has changed recently and it appears to be related to Bitwarden or possible the Chromium engine (used by Vivaldi also)
There appears to be an issue with the latest release of the Chrome extension; it looks like it has been fixed by Bitwarden and the new release (1.56.3) should be available in the Chrome store very soon.
I already installed and uninstall the extension on Chrome and Brave and only works for the first time. If my computer goes to sleep, bitwarden blocks and give the error.
Odd, this “fix” works for some but not for others. I think we all need to make sure we have the latest versions. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Chrome extension and it works fine for me.
After my comment about restartng Chrome to fix the problem (hey, it worked yesterday!) , I restarted Chrome and it still did not work I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Bitwarden extension into Chrome to see what happens.
I always panic when I run into this kind of trouble with a password manager. Good to see everyone else doing the same. I did the reinstall and it worked (for this session, anyway.) tried to update the extension to 1.56.3 but it doesn’t seem to be available yet. Ah, well. If it’s not a big, scary breach, I’m content to ride it out.
I did not even have a power outage. This just started happening. Synching manually solves the problem temporarily. But if BW locks or I shut down the browser (Chrome on Windows 10) and re-start it, the problem happens again.
I hope the author/s solve this issue soon. Thank you.
I am suddenly having BW login problem - but it is intermittent. Started a couple hours ago. Using current W10 desktop PC, current Brave browser, and pretty current BW Brave extension. I get this msg when trying to unlock “There are no logins available to auto-fill for the current browser tab.
Add a Login”
And cannot login properly. Clearing Brave temp files and cache does not help. Reboot of PC does not help. Looks like if fails most time and it succeeds sometimes - intermittent. Currently I have the vault unlocked (Logged in). Worked just fine in Edge. Have not tried Firefox or Chrome.
The BW icon has a tiny red area in lower right corner - not the big red area that I normally see right before I unlock BW after launching the browser.
Any idea?
Nope, still getting the same “cannot decrypt” error after unlocking
I have “Vault Timeout” set to “On System Lock”, and looks like the error occurs when unlocking any vault for the first time after the system was locked. If I re-lock and unlock each vault, everything shows as expected again (until the system is locked next time)…
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Bitwarden extension into Chrome to see what happens.
