Passwords do not change by them self, and also not automatically by the server. Either someway the database gets corrupted and for some reason only that user is affected, but that would be strange. Or, someone tried the org recovery/emergency contact procedure and changed the password. There is nothing we can do here, since there is no process which changes the password anywhere in the code that isn't started by someone. I would suggest to check the logs and see if you can find anything between the last successful login and the point it failed. |

I have a similar problem. I can verify that the master password I am using is correct, since I can use it to successfully unlock my account with both the bitwarden firefox plugin and the bitwarden cli client, but I get the aforementioned error when trying to log into the vaultwarden web interface. Some details which may be relevant: my master password is more than 40 characters long and consists only of lowercase ascii characters and spaces. |

Steps To Reproduce
One user on my server cannot login with the correct master password. We are both 100% sure it's correct, since it was written on a recovery sheet and saved in my vault as a fallback. Login was also tested at setup with the copy of the password in my vault and on the recovery sheet, as well as now. no server settings were modified since the creation of that account
Expected Result
Successful login
Actual Result
Login does not work on. The vault on the already logged in iOS app can still be unlocked with that password.
