Hi..

Hi Greenderella, unfortunately that's all the information I had. The version I was using was the FDroid (I apologize for that I forgot to mention it) after the app started crashing I cleared it's app data and tried logging in again but after some time it did the same. So for now I'm using the Play Store version. And I've just logged in about 3 hours ago and so far it's been work fine. I'll add more information if anything comes up.

Thank you.

The play store version is now also crashing now upon just opening to login :(

So I decided to give a try again yesterday. And I seem to have found out why the app starts crashing. It's because I use biometrics lockout. If I disable the app no longer crashes. The crash can only be remedied by clearing the app data. I have only yet tried the FDroid variant.

Also the lockout seems to be permanently triggered even though I've set it to 15 minutes, so I have to constantly log in with my master password everytime signing into any site. This was the case before though.

Edit: Nope it seems to just start crashing after a restart even with a biometric setup for some reason. 😭
