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!

    Dear All

    The OneDrive team is aware of this issue and is working on a solution.

    We have received feedback from some users that you can try to unlink OneDrive from your device on your computer, select a new folder as your OneDrive sync folder when you log in again, and then try again to access your personal vault.

    Unlink and re-link OneDrive - Microsoft Support

    However, this method may not work for everyone, so we still recommend that you try it and wait patiently for the problem to be fixed.

    Best Regards,

    Tracy - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
