Can't register to EU server regardless of 2FA choice

[mattiasb]

I'm trying to use rbw with my account on the official
EU server and to do that I've gathered that I need to:

1. Set the EU URL's correctly in the config¹.
2. Run rbw register
3. Run rbw login

Unfortunately I'm stuck at rbw register. Any idea what could be the problem?

Things I've tried:

1. Upgrade from the version of rbw shipped in Fedora 43 (1.13.2) to what's in cargo (1.15.0).
2. Switch from only E-Mail for 2FA to both E-Mail and Authenticator app.
3. Switch from both E-Mail and Authenticator app to only Authenticator app.

I get the same response (like below) in each case.

Console session

$ rbw config show
{
  "email": "<MY-ACCOUNT-EMAIL>",
  "sso_id": null,
  "base_url": "https://api.bitwarden.eu/",
  "identity_url": "https://identity.bitwarden.eu/",
  "ui_url": "https://vault.bitwarden.eu/",
  "notifications_url": "https://notifications.bitwarden.eu/",
  "lock_timeout": 3600,
  "sync_interval": 3600,
  "pinentry": "pinentry-curses",
  "client_cert_path": null
}

$ rbw register
rbw register: failed to log in to bitwarden instance: api request returned error: 404

1: The EU server URL's I've used are guesses and it would be great if they were provided in the docs (or even better in a man file!).

Ive had the same error today and figured out you need to turn off in the Bitwarden Web Vault under -> Settings -> My Account - Danger Zone the device protection. This resolved it for me ( have the same config as you)

This sounds promising!

@mattiasb and did it work?

I've been ill the last couple of days so I've mostly been stuck on the sofa watching bad TV series. Will come back once I test!

@mattiasb and did it work?

It didn't I still get the same 404:

$ rbw register
rbw register: failed to log in to bitwarden instance: api request returned error: 404

Thinking that pressing the "Turn off new device login protection" might make it so I don't need to do an rbw register I tried an rbw login instead:

$ rbw login
rbw login: failed to log in to bitwarden instance: failed to parse JSON: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0

At this point I think I've concluded that BitWarden just isn't for me. 🤷

When I said:

The EU server URL's I've used are guesses and it would be great if they
were provided in the docs (or even better in a man file!).

... I wasn't exaggerating. The issues was indeed with the URL:s.

If I deleted the trailing / of all the URL:s it all worked fine!

So for anyone stuck with getting rbw to work with the EU servers here's a seemingly¹ working config:

{
  "email": "<MY-ACCOUNT-EMAIL>",
  "base_url": "https://api.bitwarden.eu",
  "identity_url": "https://identity.bitwarden.eu",
  "ui_url": "https://vault.bitwarden.eu",
  "notifications_url": "https://notifications.bitwarden.eu"
}

1: I say seemingly until I've gotten confirmation that this is actually correct.
