Description
### Description
Unable to restore session message
### Steps to reproduce
- Close the Element app (Version 1.7.28 (1.7.28)) on MacOs 11.2.3 (20D91)
- Open the Element app the next day
- Message: "Unable to restore session
We encountered an error trying to restore your previous session.
If you have previously used a more recent version of Element, your session may be incompatible with this version. Close this window and return to the more recent version.
Clearing your browser's storage may fix the problem, but will sign you out and cause any encrypted chat history to become unreadable."
I have not knowingly set up a separate session elsewhere
