Bitwarden clients no longer working with Vaultwarden

[ChristopherMag]

Bitwarden released new clients today (extensions, electron app, etc.) that broke compatibility with Vaultwarden.

Vaultwarden just relasesed a new version to address these issues.

I was looking at the git repo for the cloudron app and I am struggling to determine what triggers an updated version to be published. It doesn't appear that there are any pipeline schedules configured so I am guessing there is a separate automated means of monitoring up stream and then publishing new builds.

Does something just run each day to check for new upstream or what would need to be done for this update to the upstream to take effect?

Thanks for this — you just saved us. We've been chasing exactly this problem and couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

Hello @christophermag
Thanks for reporting! I will create a new release right away.

You saved us with this @christophermag

Hi there, yes I saw this thread about it on github, I face the same issue in Firefox: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/7462

@jcalag Not out of the woods yet, still watching for an update to the cloudron app but hopefully we will have one soon.

PS, for those that hit this, if your user's have their master password memorized or accessible somehow they can log into the web version of vaultwarden to access the passwords in the mean time.

Also as another not great work around you can download the previous bitwarden client extension version 2026.6.1, expand assets and download the dist zip for your browser.

After extracting the zip somewhere I would disable the current version of the extension, then if using chromium based browser, enable developer mode for extensions and load an unpacked extension pointing it at the folder where you extracted the files.

This let me use the extension again for the time being but it is not easy to deploy at scale.

The Desktop application might also work, also available form that site, if you disable electron from updating but I haven't experimented with that yet.

@james has the update been released?

[ChristopherMag]

@jcalag The update has been released and I have installed it and the current bitwarden client works as expected again.

Hello @christophermag
Thanks for reporting the update resolved the issue.

[jcalag]

@james hi james apparently extension are not working again

Hello @jcalag
I can't confirm what you are writing.
Our Vaultwarden and browser plugins work without issues.

@james I am in the same bag as @jcalag, at least on Firefox. But I think that this might be a Vaultwarden issue.
Seems to be tracked here and soon resolved hopefully.

That's odd. It's working fine for me on the same setup as you guys on all my devices (all similar setup, W11/Firefox/etc.). I also checked Brave and the BW Windows Desktop app too. All good

Firefox v.154
Bitwarden Firefox plugin v.2026.8.0
Vaultwarden v.1.37.1 (com.github.bitwardenrs@1.26.1)

In this neck of the woods ..
Mac Tahoe 26.6.2 client is not syncing.
iPhone 26.6 is syncing.

Seems to be a windows issue https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/7462. One of my user resolved this by downgrading their extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/versions/

@andreasdueren that explains it. I'm still on 224H2 as my PC's refuse to update past that because of all the windows de-spying hacks/tools that I've used. Sticking it to shitsoft is paying off in dividends

This is not just a Windows Issue @andreasdueren. We have this problems on machines Running the newer client version 2026.08 on Windows and Linux devices,
There is already an update https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/releases/tag/1.37.2 for vaultwarden that should fix this.
