Description
Checks
- I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
Since yesterday, I cannot decrypt the kdbx file anymore on my Google Pixel 10 with Android 16. I'm using a Password with Keyfile.
I can open the file on my PC with password and the Keyfile. I have made a fresh copy of both files from my PC to the Phone, did not help. I also have tried other Keepass apps, it didn't work as well.
Then I changed the kdbx-database-file (on the PC) from password with Keyfile to password only and opened the new database. Now it works again.
Describe what you expected to happen:
I still want to use a Keyfile.
Is there a bug on Android 16 while calculating the decryption with a Keyfile?
Can you please check if there is a possibility for a workaround for Keepass2Android?
Thanks, Manfred

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the failure on Android 16 with Keepass2Android 1.14-r4 using a KDBX file protected by a password and keyfile, then compare it with password-only decryption; done means keyfile-protected files decrypt successfully on the affected device.
