The app can't seem to connect to the desktop app "Failed starting connection: Background task failed: Failed to fetch"

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

The third party app gives me a code which I'm supposed to enter in the chrome extension. However, it fails with "Failed authenticating Background task failed No API client" Any idea? Seems like it was solved unexpecdetly a few hours later...
