Same here, I unlock it with a pin, and it just spins like it wants to load but doesn’t. I click to dismiss it, and open the extension again, and it works fine.

As a comparison I use Chromium with 25.1.2 and have never had an issue. After a recent update the version details are:
Version 132.0.6834.159 (Official Build) built on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) (64-bit)
Thank you very much, this is very effective!!
I’ve started having this problem last week. I’m use the cloud version.
When I put in my main password, it hangs on the loading, and doesn’t show me my logins. I close the window and then click the Bitwarden icon again, and it then loads instantly.
Browser: Version 1.74.51 Chromium: 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Extension version: 2025.1.2
Exactly the same Browser and Extension versions, same timeframe, and exactly the same issue.
TL:DR: “Me too” 
I installed the older extension and everything works fine now.

That’s the only thing I’ve found that actually works.
Using chrome on windows 10 here. New version of Bitwarden has a few second lag on autofill that it didn’t used to have. Annoying.

Same issue has been going on for me. Click on the extension, it spins. Select Login and it spins for a good while. If I choose to login with biometric, it now pops up that screen behind my browser, which is easy to miss. Finally get logged in, and it spins and spins. Definitely some issues.
I am also having the issue with Bitwarden being very slow, this started since it updated to the new version.
It will regularly take a very long time to load the vault or simply will not load at all and I have to keep disabling the extension and re-enable and login again.
It also takes longer to fill in fiorm fields (several seconds).
I have the lastest extension and Chrome version.
Cloud version not self hosted.
Another one for slowness with the Chrome browser. This is on both my personal Mac, corporate/work Mac, and my personal Chromebook. I would say I have noticed a big change in the extra slowness within the last 2 weeks or so, I can’t give an exact date. I would love to know if there is anything Ic an change in settings etc to make it fast again. Sometimes the spinning never stops and I have to logout and login again to regain access to passwords.

I have the same issue that the vault content never displays after an authentication, both in chrome and edge. However the simple bypass is to click somewhere in the HTML page such that the bitwarden popup disappears and then click the bitwarden extension icon again. The vault content will then reappear reasonably quickly.
@jdevrie What you describe sounds more like this: Browser extension just spins after unlocking

I think you are right. It is a similar problem as this one but not the same.
I’ve been seeing this issue for a while too, however I am using a 64 Bit version. What I just noticed is what clicking the extension I see a spinning circle (also occurs when I pop out the extension). I then went into settings and sync’d the vault, everything came up right away. 
A fix for the spinning vault is on the way, and it will be available for everyone soon: [PM-17793] Fix Vault Loading by justindbaur · Pull Request #13484 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub
Does this apply to all browser types or just the arm versioned ones? I do know majority was arm but I have the same problem with 64 bit
This happened to me when i installed Edge on a new computer and then signed in to my Microsoft account and synced plugins.
Uninstalling the plugin that was added this way and then reinstalling from the extension store fixed the issue.
