Bitwarden starts using the OS password manager service, and it's breaking

https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/8651

Hi everyone, thank you for the reports! We moved to storing our tokens in secure storage with this release, but unfortunately snap packages are sandboxed and we can't automatically enable access to the password-manager-service permission. If you're running into this issue there are a couple fixes:

  1. Ubuntu Software > Installed > Bitwarden > Permissions - turn on "Read, add, change or remove saved passwords"
  2. Run the following: sudo snap connect bitwarden:password-manager-service

Please be sure to log out and back in after enabling this permission. If you encounter any issues please feel free to reach out, thanks!
