Can't Decrypt Notes #547

Open tuxagon opened 8 years ago

tuxagon commented 8 years ago

I used to use laverna pretty regularly and then stopped for a month. Recently, I started using it again at https://laverna.cc, but I cannot see any of my notes. I used sync with dropbox and re-connected when laverna didn't recognize me. Now all my notes are encrypted and I have no idea how to decrypt them with the application

Is there an update? I really need to decrypt my notes. I used RemoteStorage and 

{
    "ct": "aP3jc8R6...5O9wI=",
    "iv": "uL...n5zMjw=="
}

is what I am seeing (obviously I removed a lot of it).

Exactly the same problem here. I had to reinstall the OS in my notebook and now can't decrypt the notes stored in my Dropbox account. WTH!! Can anybody at Laverna fix this problem please?

The format of encrypted notes changed sometime after 0.7.1 and the newer versions of Laverna are unable to process notes of the older format. #699 is about the same bug.

What you can do is use 0.7.1 to load the encrypted notes and export them as unencrypted notes, and import them again into the newest version. I was not able to get dropbox authentication to work with the windows and linux binaries but the webapp worked.
