Doesn't work anymore after update EDIT: I have the desktop app running in the background v2.27.0. After a bit of digging, I found out I had to open desk app and go to "Connections" > "Enable". Even after that, when I entender the vault code... "Failed authenticating: Background task failed: Desktop request failed: 403 Forbidden". Have to do even more digging now :( Sorry, Perry, I know this was something you didn't want to do. Desktop and iOs apps still work perfectly though EDIT MAY 20 2024 - Don't know what changed, I tried to connect the extension to the Desktop app and it worked, without any extra work. Works again

En lugar de mejorar, creo que retrocedieron. Ahora la experiencia de usuario es muy mala.
