Vaultwarden Build Version

Custom deployment method

No response

Host/Server Operating System

Operating System Version

Synology DSM 7

Clients

Steps To Reproduce

Open Bitwaren App
wait
vault is empty

Expected Result

Vault shows entries.

Actual Result

All Bitwarden Apps show me an empty vault.
So I updated Vaultwarden Server (from End 2024) to current Version 1.33

After logging into the Vaultwarden WebVault, I get an Error:
"Decryption Error - Bitwarden couldn decrypt following vault entry. contact support." (translated, i see a german one)

So I deleted the Error-Entry and the Webvault looks fine.

After that i signed out of all bitwarden Apps (mac, ios, ipad, browser), deleted them, restarted the OS, installed the newest version and signed in again. Following result:

mac-app shows vault entries without icons
ios-app & ipad app shows the errro: "cryptography error, the cipher's MAC doen't match the expected value" and stays empty
browser-extension stays empty
