This issue was likely due to a recent automatic update.  We’ve been experimenting with automatic updates, which have their pros and cons: everything has trade-offs. While sometimes necessary, these updates require manual unlocking since Alby Hubs are self-custodial wallets, and the password is used to encrypt the hub.

For any issues, we recommend reaching out at https://getalby.com/help. We aim to respond as quickly as possible, and if we're not available in live chat, your message will be sent to us via email, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. 😊🙏
