If you got the automatic updates on the bitwarden clients, they will show an empty vault if you are selfhosting vaultwarden.

It seems to be an accidental bug in the bitwarden clients that are assuming that they're talking with official servers

It's fixed with the latest release of the vaultwarden server that was published a few minutes ago

Do not update any bitwarden client until you can update vaultwarden

    If anyone's Firefox auto updated like mine you can uninstall the extension, go to the Bitwarden extension page on the Firefox website and manually install the old version. Only needed if you can't update vaultwarden right away.

    Switching to Passbolt right now. I have the feeling this is the beginning of the enshitification of Bitwarden.

    Such bugs have already appeared in the past. It's only logical that this happens from time to time, as the creators of bitwarden don't test the compatobility with 3rd party servers.

    What is important is that they're not deliberately blocking vaultwarden.

    They still have a good export tool, that's a reliable canary for enshittification in my experience. See: how Google butchered their export tools to be as annoying as possible for "security" reasons. The harder it is to leave, the more they care about trapping you via friction rather than keeping you via good customer experience

    Passbolt pales in comparison. The fact I can only get the android app from google play. No thanks. That is a deal breaker right there. I am working towards moving 100% off from google play.

    After quickly spinning up a container of it; it feels very unpolished and can't say it will replace Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for me.

    The mark of a quality developer is not the lack of problems, but the way they respond to them. Any project in active development for a long time is going to run into breaking issues from time to time just because technical debt accrues and memories are short.

    The ability to fix a problem, publicly own up to the cause/fix and work to prevent future issues like it are the best we can ask for.
