OneDrive Personal Vault cannot unlock, error code 0x8004db90

I haven't been able to access my OneDrive Personal Vault in the past few days. I've tried multiple ways (PC, iOS app, webpage) but none works -

  • on the iOS app, it prompted me to setup personal vault even though I've done the setup a long time ago. After completing authentication, the app popped up with "Unable to complete Personal Vault setup, please try again in a few minutes". I tried removing the app and started fresh and that didn't help.
  • on webpage, after authentication, it popped up saying "There was a problem unlocking your Personal Vault". I tried both Edge and Chrome and got the same results.
  • on PC, onedrive can't unlock my personal vault, and popped up with error code 0x8004db90. I tried unlinking onedrive and relinking it and that didn't help.

Overall this feels like an authentication issue but somehow only affects personal vault access.. If anyone has any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it!

    I'm having the exact same issue and can't access any of my files.

    Tracy - do we have a fix yet? I'm not technically savvy and need help getting into my files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Why do you only give basic answers and not answers on solutions? I'm in a hurry. I need to take care of business, but why can't it be done?

    Ran into the same issue. Cannot unlock personal vault since 9 Aug. I can verify access with any required docs (ID, passport, verification codes) if needed.
