Cannot open any more vaults on macos from today morning

Author: YorghCreated Sep 11, 2026Updated Sep 15, 2026

Summary

I tried to open my vault today morning without being able to do it

Please agree to the following

What software is involved?

  • Operating System: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 (M1 - arm64)
  • Cryptomator: 1.19.3
  • macFuse : 5.3.3

The macFuse kernel extension is authorised on my macOS. Reinstalling macFuse and Cryptomator does not solve the issue even after a reboot. After reinstalling macFuse I am not asked to authorize the extensions as it is still in the security policy of my macOS.

Volume Type

macFUSE

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cryptomator
  2. Try to unlock any vault
  3. The error occurs

Expected Behavior

The Vault should unlock...

Actual Behavior

I get an error

Reproducibility

Always

Anything else?

I tried to use Fuse-T (v1.2.7) instead and I get quite the same error:
