Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.34.0, v1.34.1

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

None

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Tested on Debian 12, ArchLinux, Talos

Clients

Web Vault

Client Version

2025.1.1

Steps To Reproduce

Spin up an instance of Vaultwarden as following:

docker run -v data:/data \
  -e SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false \
  -e ADMIN_TOKEN=asdf \
  -p 80:80 \
  vaultwarden/server:1.34.1

Signups are not allowed, but you can invite users via the admin interface, and they should be able to register on http://<instance>/#/register after being added by an admin (as also indicated in the wiki)
When navigating to http://<instance>/#/register on version 1.34.0 and onwards, you get redirected to http://<instance>/#/signup, which calls the /identity/accounts/register/send-verification-email endpoint, which, with the signup disabled, returns 400

On previous versions, such as 1.33.2 and earlier, there is no redirect to /#/signup, thus allowing to reach the correct endpoints via the Web UI. This may be an issue with a change in the Bitwarden Web UI.

Expected Result

User is not redirected to /#/signup, but gets instead to this form:

instead of this one:
