Description

### Steps To Reproduce

https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/4601

Same as the above issue. I figured with the new app it might have been fixed but apparently that wasn't the case.

### Expected Result

Accessibility toggle turns on and remains enabled.

### Actual Result

Same as the issue prior, the toggle never turns on even when the accessibility permission has been given by the system.

### Screenshots or Videos

_No response_

### Additional Context

_No response_

### Build Version

2026.8.0

### What server are you connecting to?

### Self-host Server Version

_No response_

### Environment Details

Nothing Phone 3a - Android 16

### Issue Tracking Info

- [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
