Unexpected "Invalid master password" error

[edoardob90]

Hello! Firstly, thanks for the efforts in building this workflow.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me when using the latest version of both the workflow (2.4.6) and Bitwarden CLI (2022.10.0). And the error "Invalid master password" is clearly hiding something more subtle since the master password is correct.

What I tried so far:

1. Logging with the password and API key (neither works)
2. Logging out from CLI with bw logout (from the CLI, I can log in and then unlock without problems)
3. Logging out/in from the workflow's auth settings
4. Deleting the workflow's cache and the data.json file located in ~/Library/Application Support

The log in Alfred debugger isn't that useful since it reports only the "Invalid master password" error. Here it's, just in case:

I'm not proficient in Go, hence it seemed a waste of time to dig into the source code and try to understand its inner working. But if there's any other info I can provide to help debugging, please let me know.

And thanks in advance for any hints!

same problem. Authentication with api works on cli, but if I try from alfred it gives me incorrect password

Did it work before? Could you try with version 2.4.4 - in version 2.4.5 the input for the master password changed. Are there many special chars or any leading/trailing spaces in the password?

on version 2.4.4 it works

I was able to recreate the issue with trailing or leading spaces for the master password.

Just released version 2.4.7 which should fix that issue.
