App suddenly useless

[tniedermaier]

Describe the bug

App doesn't open anymore even if correct password is entered.

Steps to Reproduce

I installed the app around a week ago and have around 10 2FAs set up there. It worked nicely until just now. When I open the app now, and I enter the password, I receive the following error message:

#Value does not fall within the expected range.
at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() + 0x21
at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task) + 0x70
at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task) + 0x38
at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ValidateEnd(Task) + 0x17
at Project2FA.Services.DataService.d__70.MoveNext() + 0xb56

Then I have two options: restart app or close app. After restarting, the same happens again. Which means that effectively, I cannot use the app anymore.

App Version:

• Windows 10 22H2 Update

If you start the file with a double click and enter the corresponding password, does this work?

For more detailed information you could post the log file AppLog.log here:

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It works again now. I didn't do anything. Maybe rebooting the computer did the trick, I don't know. Anyway, I attached the log file, hope it helps to fix the bug! Kind regards!

Hey, that's good to hear that the problem no longer exists! I suspect that it's due to a Microsoft library and the corresponding API. Could you post the contents of the log file as a comment, unfortunately the attachment didn't come with it.

Best regards

Happened the same to me,

I think the app problem is it's heavy reliance into UWP or Edge caching. I'm not a developer but this is how to replicate the problem:

• Run an disk cleaner app like Wise Disk Cleaner or CCleaner
• Run again 2fast. App won't work and password won't open the data file.
• Repair or restore won't work.
• Uninstall, reboot, re-install works to solve the problem.

Hope it helps,

PS: Your app is awesome, just some hiccups you've been fixing each release.

Thanks for the explanation and the info on how to solve the problem! I was not aware of that. It is quite likely that I ran Wise Disk Cleaner or CCleaner in the meantime I hope it is possible to overcome the reliance on UWP or Edge caching.

Thanks for the information I will try to replicate this in a virtual machine so that I can maybe catch the error and fix it automatically.
