Subject of the issue

I'm using Vaultwarden for a moment now, without any problem, using traefik as reverse proxy.
Recently, i've added to my traefik configuration a service & middleware for customise error-pages (404, 500, 501, and all other errors)
I've added this middleware to my Vaultwarden container, resulting 2FA code is not prompted anymore.
Instead, i get this error :
[2023-09-08 21:12:29.267][error][ERROR] 2FA token not provided

And on the web, a red rectangle with an unknown error
