Description

@marcontheball

Steps To Reproduce

Log into web interface, no problem and have had 2FAs for that but thought it would be better to install app. However, I don't receive the 2FA email (not even in junk mail).
Known bug? Something to do with my device (Win 11 laptop) being known from web access but not known for app access?

Expected Result

Get 2FA email.

Actual Result

No 2FA email

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of GitHub. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
