Corrupted Favourites Passwords #259

Open julianhall opened 1 year ago

julianhall commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've been working on this for a few days now and am giving up, unless someone can help.

I attempted to open my terminals as normal, and was sent through the original setup screens all of a sudden.

If I attempt to view the settings on a favourite with a saved password - i get the following image

Looking at the logs: I can see the following:

INFO 2022-09-07 08:58:11,697 256ms Terminals TryLoadFile - Loading History from: D:\_dev\terminals\Data\History.xml ERROR 2022-09-07 08:58:16,578 5137ms Terminals DecryptPassword - Error Decrypting Password System.Exception: Error while writing encrypted data to the stream: Padding is invalid and cannot be removed. at Unified.Encryption.Decryptor.Decrypt(Byte[] bytesData, Byte[] bytesKey) at Terminals.Security.PasswordFunctions2.DecryptPassword(String encryptedPassword, Byte[] passwordKey) at Terminals.Security.PasswordFunctions2.DecryptPassword(String encryptedPassword, String keyMaterial)

I've attempted to replace the files in the Data folder with a backup of: Favourites.xml History.xml Terminals.config ToolStrip.settings.config

but still all my saved passwords are corrupted.

ANY help on how to restore this would be greatly appreciated.

Got the exact same thing happening to me. The issue is with a Group Policy change that enabled FipsAlgorithmPolicy. I changed the 1 value in the registry to zero and it worked. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy] "Enabled"=dword:00000000

The log had the error: ERROR 2022-10-07 10:33:24,438 8547ms Terminals DecryptPassword - Error Decrypting Password System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

Searched for the error and found several tips about the registry fix. Tried it and it worked. Back in Business

This requires check of FIPS policy, Terminals is NOT FIPS compliant. It needs research for possible solutions.

I have the same issue but in my case in the registry I already have this value set to 0 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy] "Enabled"=dword:00000000

Someone resolved in other ways?

Where do I find the log of Terminals?
