App logs out

[JonathanTreffler]

Checklist

• I am able to reproduce the bug with the latest version here.
• I have checked and there are no existing issues - open or closed - which report the same bug.
• I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.
• This issue contains only one bug.

Affected version

v1.0.10

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Log into app
2. Use app multiple times (including autofill)
3. After some time (sometimes days, sometimes hours) when opening the app it will show as logged out and autofill will get disabled

Expected behavior

The app should stay logged in

Actual behavior

The app app gets logged out.
This happens on every device I have tested, no matter which Android OS it is running. The common factor is my nextcloud instance, but other nextcloud apps have no trouble staying logged in with this instance.

I have tried using an app password to log in in the login webview, but it still logged me out after a short while.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

CalyxOS 5.13.0 (Android 14), Graphene OS, Android 15 (Pixel stock)

Affected device model

Fairphone 5, Pixel 6 (Graphene), Pixel 6 (Stock)

Additional information

• I will try taking a screenshot of any error messages that pop up next time it happens
• Thank you very much for creating the app, it is so much better than the other nextcloud passwords apps. I hope this issue can be fixed, because it currently makes this otherwise great app infuriating to use :(

Hello @JonathanTreffler

I will look into it and see if there is some case that I am not handling correctly.

Meanwhile, it would be great if you could check the logs on the nextcloud instace and see if there is an error there.

Thank you!

It happened again, this is the error message. I will check the server logs around this timestamp later.

Hello! This error happens when the app receives an error 401 or 403 while trying to open a session with the password manager app. Is there any chance your server sometimes returns this error (maybe when connecting from certain IPs)?

[JonathanTreffler]

Since it only happens when the app starts and the nextcloud server did not revoke the session I just assumed there was an issue with the local storage of the session token.

I did not know passwords has an additional session system and it makes sense that if that returns wrong data on the start when requesting the session, it would log out. I did check if there was an update for passwords a few days ago and it showed no updates whatsoever for the instance, but I checked again and now there are quite a few, some older than a few days, so it must have had an issue fetching available updates. I have now updated that passwords app and I am assuming the error was fixed by marius-wieschollek/passwords#684 .

Thank you for the help :)
I will close the issue and reopen in case it happens again.

It worked perfectly since the last time I wrote, sadly It happened again multiple times within only a few hours.
Only thing different today: The mobile data was a bit spotty, so maybe some request getting cancelled caused the wrong logouts.

The passwords server app is on the newest version.
