Describe the bug you encountered:

keepass2android suddenly stopped working on my phone today. Otherwise, I've been using it for quite many years without issues.

I run a setup with an Apache2 driven WebDAV server with public access from the Internet, and I use a mixture of clients to access the database. Primarily the classic KeePass .Net based client on Windows and Linux, and keepass2android on my phones.

I has been working fine for many years, but today keepass2android stopped working after I restarted the WebDAV server - or maybe not, it just happened to stop working around that time. Last time I used it was yesterday where it worked as expected.

The classic KeePass client works fine on Windows as well as Linux, and on the phone I can access and download the KeePass database using the various browsers I have on the phone. No problem.

But on keepass2android I get a 401 Unauthorized error and the Apache2 log file shows the same error.

I have tried rebooting the phone, force stopping the app, reloading the file as a new database - but to no avail: keepass2android won't authenticate unlike all other clients.

How do I troubleshoot this?

Describe what you expected to happen:

That keepass2android continues to load my database from the WebDAV server like it has been doing for years.

What version of Keepass2Android are you using?

1.09e-r7

Which version of Android are you on?
