Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.34.3-77008a91

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

nginx v2.12.3

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Docker/Portainer on Ubuntu Container in Proxmox

Clients

Client Version

Steps To Reproduce

Set up Vaultwarden SSO with OIDC via environment variables (in my case, with Authentik)
Log in to SSO provider (e.g. Authentik)
Go from there to Vaultwarden Web Vault

Expected Result

I expected to be already logged in, and just need to unlock my vault if needed. The login already happened via SSO.

At worst, I expected to have to hit a redundant "Log in with SSO" button that starts the OIDC process, redirects to Authentik, and bounces back to Vaultwarden letting it know who's already logged in.

Actual Result

I am asked to enter my email, even though that's provided by SSO, and then I'm asked to enter my username (unclearly referred to only as "SSO Identifier") even though that's implied by my email and also already known due to the SSO login... and then I'm asked to unlock my vault. Two extra steps

Logs

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Is there a URL I can launch instead of the base URL, to skip these steps and just use the email/username associated with the SSO user logged in?
