Hello and I hope you can help me.
I have been hosting Bitwarden on my Sinology NAS quite happily for some years now and found it very valuable.
Using iOS and iPadOS on apple devices has made it very simple to copy the passwords by authenticating through FaceID.
However today I have got a new device that needs the Master password and I cannot get it correct. I think I remember changing it, but and now stuck.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the master password from a device that still has access (iPad) or at least reset it?
Many thanks,
Tim

I’m guessing that you’re actually using Vaultwarden, in which case you would have to seek support from the Vaultwarden community , not here.
Nonetheless, I believe your only option is to attempt to brute force guess your password using the key hash stored in your data.json file. You can read a little about how that might be done here:
@andora - The Python tool that you found only lets you decrypt the local vault if you still know the master password. To do brute force cracking, you need a tool like Hashcat . If you just want to try some combinations manually, you can also use Bitwarden’s interactive cryptography tool . In both cases, you will need the Master Key Hash, which is stored in the field keyHash in the data.json file. If you use Bitwarden’s interactive tool, you will need to first save a local copy of the HTML and…
