Actual behaviour

I think my vaultwarden was updated to 1.30.3 and stopped working.. I don't dare roll back to older version in case I break something.

Troubleshooting data

I have tried setting a password using argon2, but this didn't solve the issue...

echo -n "thatpasswordthatwasntmine" | argon2 "$(openssl rand -base64 32)" -e -id -k 19456 -t 2 -p 1 | sed 's#\$#\$\$#g'
