Subject of the issue

After updating Vaultwarden docker instance from 1.26.0 to 1.27.0 I cannot login to my existing account and I'm 100% sure my login and passwords are ok. I'm using backup copy of /data folder on my server so the user exists. Downgrading to 1.26.0 solves the issue immediately. And it happens in both desktop clients and web vault so I guess it has nothing to do with the clients.

I saw some tips to backup locally vault, and start database from scratch and then import vault manually for the 'new" user. But thats problematic as I'm not the only user of this app.

Deployment environment

vaultwarden version: 1.27.0
Install method: Docker image
Clients used: web vault, mac client, firefox client, ios client
Other relevant details: I'm using Synology NAS to run docker container

Steps to reproduce

Update docker image from 1.26.0 to 1.27.0 w/o removing existing database. Then try to login in web vault. There should be an error message explaining that either username or password are incorrect. Which is not true.

Expected behaviour

User should use his old username and password to login to web vault after update
