Does Key File work?

I’m trialling KeePassXC to see if I should move to it.

I’ve managed to get my YubiKeys configured, but I get the following message when trying to log in with my master password and key file: ‘Error while reading the database. Invalid credentials were provided. Please try again. If this reoccurs, your database file may be corrupt. (HMAC mismatch).’

Other people have had similar issues, but I’m trying to find out if it’s a bug or something that I’m doing wrong.

I’m using a Mac. I’ve tried using the generated file and also random files on my computer, but I always get the same message. There are no hidden filename extensions, and the password is correct—without retyping it, if I tick the box to use my hardware key, I get straight in. I had imported my data, but the database is currently empty.
