Vaultwarden Build Version

1.33.2

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

caddy 2.8.4

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Ubuntu 24.04.1 aarch64

Clients

Rust SDK

Client Version

Rust SDK v1.0.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create rust project using public rust SDK
2. Configure a client to connect to your Vaultwarden server
3. Attempt to login with API key
4. See panic by SDK as the response was parsed incorrectly due to missing ForcePasswordReset

Expected Result

API Key login with scope api should return a JSON response including ForcePasswordReset key, to enable proper parsing by the Bitwarden Rust SDK

Actual Result

Login response does not include the ForcePasswordReset key, causing the rust SDK to assume the response is a refresh token response, causing a panic:

thread 'main' panicked at [...]/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/bitwarden-core-1.0.0/src/auth/login/password.rs:149:17:
internal error: entered unreachable code: Got a `refresh_token` answer to a login request

Logs

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

I am not entirely sure whether this is technically an issue with Vaultwarden or the Bitwarden SDK, but given Vaultwarden attempts to maintain compatibility with all Bitwarden Clients (which technically includes the Rust SDK), I figured I would report it here first.

To summarize the issue, I am attempting to develop a Rust program that interfaces with my personal Vaultwarden server, however when trying to login to the Vaultwarden server via API key, the SDK panicked, mentioning how it received a refresh_token response instead of a login response. After using a MITM proxy to get the API requests, I noticed the only difference from what Bitwarden's SDK was expecting and what was being returned was a missing ForcePasswordReset property.

Looking at https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/blob/871a3f214aefc6a7b3fbc3f5662b5295d590a54e/src/api/identity.rs, I notice that the _password_login function includes this property, but not _user_api_key_login for whatever reason, so the only change that should be needed is adding that property to the other function.

[BlackDex]

Vaultwarden isn't compatible with the Bitwarden API. We currently only support the client endpoints and a few public API endpoints to let the directory connector work.
