I have a new computer, well actually 2 and the first one was find to log into bitwarden website to grab a password to use. The second now gives me the Code 6 errors. My old computer does this as well now. I can sign in with the plug-in on the old computer but don’t want to use that on this new computer as it doesn’t need all the info.
What causes the code 6 to just appear? I read a lot of options on line about it but they all seem to be around a new device and logging in after another device was recently best I can tell. These are all originating from the same location.
I don’t know exactly why error 6 specifically occurs, but I believe it relates to how Bitwarden is preventing suspicious activities from some clients on the same IP address. It’s unfortunately inconsistent from one client to another.
The most reliable long-term solution (for me) seems to be to make sure all your clients (excluding the CLI) can connect to BW using IPv6. You can check from the browser at: https://test-ipv6.com/
