Hello @Brian_webb - sorry to hear about your issues accessing your vault. I would try a couple of things right off the bat:

• First, if your vault is just locked, logout and try to login again (this will refresh your vault in case anything got corrupted locally).
• Second, if that didn’t help, then reboot your phone and reinstall the app.

If that didn’t help, Android keyboards are notorious for replacing special characters when you don’t realize it. For example, some Android keyboards will replace straight quotes with curly quotes (aka smart quotes). If you have any special characters that are NOT in the list of special characters supported by the password generator, this could be an issue.

If that’s not it, you can consult this guide for other things to investigate:

How To: Master Password Problems and Best Practices

Problems with master passwords frequently arise here in the forums, so I thought I would try to collate all the advice I have learned from the community about what to do if your Bitwarden password isn’t working and best practices. Quick Background The master password to your Bitwarden account is required in the cryptographic process that generates the key to encrypt and decrypt your vault. Bitwarden never saves a copy of your master password, for security reasons, so they can’t even access it …

Hope you get it fixed - let us know how you make out!
