I've updated Bitwarden after years without updating and now it just says "vault is locked" and there is no button to unlock or anything. The entire thing just broke. The console has an error about FIDO, which is another garbage the satellite people have been forcing upon us and the "tech" community loves for whatever reason.

I already knew it, but the lesson has to be retaught every so often: never update.

If you go that long without updating, I think that is to be expected. It's hard to make everything backwards compatible forever.

Export database as a json using one of the devices (browser extension or app), completely reinstall the bitwarden server, clearing its database.

I also recommend using vaultwaden instead bitwarden server.

If you want something even more based and simpler: keepass + syncthing

Just the extension is broken, the vault on their website works normally.

I thought about running Vaultwarden, but I don't trust myself to run servers.

Maybe I'll try Keepass + Syncthing.
