Description
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Go to a protected entry (in my case a card or identity) and try to view / fill
2. Enter master password correctly
### Expected Result
I can view, edit or fill the protected entry
### Actual Result
"Invalid master password"
### Screenshots or Videos
I cannot take screenshots in the app
### Additional Context
Flight recorder archive collected and exported, cannot see address or option to share it.
Previous bug reports from other users and older app versions (#7060 & #7134 ) closed with "cannot reproduce" - obviously this is a recurring issue.
### Build Version
2026.8.0 (21819)
### What server are you connecting to?
EU
### Self-host Server Version
_No response_
### Environment Details
Samsung Galaxy S25 SM-S931B/DS
Android 16, OneUI 8.5
### 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.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the protected-entry view or fill flow on the reported Android 16 and OneUI 8.5 environment, using build 2026.8.0 (21819), and trace where the correct master password is rejected. Compare the behavior with the earlier issues #7060 and #7134; done means a correct password permits viewing, editing, or filling the protected entry without the invalid-password error.
