[bug] failed to decrypt: invalid mac

[JeromeSchmied]

to reproduce:

1. rbw edit something
2. quit $EDITOR without saving
3. check web bitwarden: you'll see an item with no name
4. try using rbw again, you'll look kinda like:

$ rbw ls
rbw list: failed to decrypt: failed to decrypt encrypted secret: invalid mac

how to fix:

1. delete the item from your Bitwarden using the web vault
2. rbw purge
3. rbw unlock
4. you're good to go

Note

it might not be as easy and general, but this is what I did

[sedlund]

did you use a version of rbw?

[JeromeSchmied]

yes, it's

$ rbw --version
rbw 1.12.1

i can't reproduce this - what editor are you using, and what kind of entry are you trying to edit?

[JeromeSchmied]

helix editor
password entry

I've seen the same bug, but without deliberately editing anything myself. rofi-rbw just stopped working, on the command line I started to get this error with both rofi-rbw and rbw itself, and I had to purge an empty item from my private vault to get it to work again.
