Unusable UI feedback with wrong vault key / incorrect encryption password syncing remote vault

[nXXt]

Steps to reproduce

1. Attempt to connect to a remote vault using Sync
2. When prompted for the encryption password, enter an invalid password

Expected result

The expected result would be a dialog window or other warning informing the user the vault key is invalid.

Actual result

The dialog window is generated, but only appears extremely briefly. For the most part, the user just sees the underlying dialog with the animation of a square not feeling so good. (I had to use a screen recorder to even grab the content of the dialog window by playing it back at extremely reduced speed).

This occurs on both mobile (Android 13) and desktop (Windows 11).

Additional information

I am not sure why Obsidian displays my OS as Windows 10; perhaps it’s derived from some field based on the licence type.

I can’t reproduce. Post a screen recording of this happening, default theme, no third party plugins, no snippets

[nXXt]

I made a quick screen recording on my old phone using a fresh install of Obsidian. You’ll see the dialog appear very quickly and disappear almost immediately without any user input by me.

Should you require any additional information, I should be able to provide that tomorrow.

I do have the vault working currently, so I am not blocked from getting any further. Just wanted to report a potential issue that might cause people to think something is wrong with their account – as I originally thought as a relatively new user to Obsidian.

thanks I can repro on mobile, not desktop.
