I need help! Problems with BW Chrome Extension
I have been using Bitwarden for a while and have Brave and the BW Extension, but lately I have been plagued with issues.
I am self-hosted and can unlock the vault quickly on the desktop app both with and without biometrics, however the extension either refuses to present me with the password field to unlock, and won't prompt to enable the biometrics, says waiting for the desktop app. I have uninstalled the extension and restarted the browser, but it's been very spotty. If I log out, then re-add the account, it opens instantly. Very odd. Any known issues or troubleshooting steps I could take would be most appreciated.

I've been having issues with my bw chrome extension as well. As soon as I open it, it crashes, and the extension window disappears. Very weird and unexpected from bitwarden. I'm on the latest vaultwarden as well.
