I've enabled two 2FA mechanisms: mail and authenticator app.
Following the upstream docs, I'm trying to recover using the recovery code which I've just copied from https://mydomain.example.localhost/#/settings/security/two-factor (alongside the user name and master password, of course).

I do not get an error in the web UI, but I'm just redirected to the main login view; the network pane reads as follows:

The log shows a single line:

vaultwarden-5d964b5d76-zqmsr [2025-08-19 22:49:21.283][vaultwarden::api::identity][ERROR] Invalid two factor provider

As per the discussion here, we could identify that upstream has refactored their recovery code handling and added a new type.
