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!

    Same error here, can't access my Personnal Vault from the app. I unistalled Onedrive, install it. Same issue. I don't want to re-install W11. MS, do something, we are paying you for your services!!

    All,

    I still do not have access. I see posts of ppl stating they have access. A lot of others still don't. MICROSOFT has let their paying customers down. I have canceled my Onedrive. I am now using Google Drive and backing up on a portable drive. Luckily I had backed up 90% of my things. Lesson for everyone. Time to move on from MICROSOFT.
