Restore a backup PL24dir

[ericogit]

When I make a PL24dir backup (PL24dir==AAAAAAaaaaa==PL24dir) and then try to restore it by pasting the text into the main window of another Passlok install, then the text will be decrypted and pasted into the edit window. But when I press "Merge" I get an error message: "The items to be merged must be 256-bit and in base64 (or base36 for Locks)"

So restoring the backup dir fails. Manually restoring all the locks is the only option.

It doesn't look like your backup contains anything, if it's that short. It is possible that the program is running with an empty directory. Try going to the page console (ctrl-alt-j in Chrome, or right-click and select Inspect, then move to the Console tab), and type locDir, followed by Return, to see what's actually loaded.

I am sorry. I only posted the PL24dir code as an example. The real line is much longer. And this line also decrypts fine in a new install of Passlok (other browser). But as soon as I want to merge the this backup dir data in the EDIT window. I get the mentioned error message: "The items to be merged must be 256-bit and in base64 (or base36 for Locks)"

So both installs are the same version? It could well be that the encoding is different (I changed it a few versions back) and this causes the problem. If so, delete all data (by making a backup and then saying yes when PassLok offers to delete existing data) and then load the backup. This should remove the incompatibility.

Yes, both installs are the same. I've tried on 2.4.13 and 14 and in different browsers (Brave and Firefox) Maybe I am doing something wrong here. So please let me describe my workflow: -Options Tab: select Advanced and then press "Whole directory" -Answer the popup with OK. -Go back to main Tab and copy the PL24dir text. -Go to other browser and login with my credentials. -Paste the PL24dir text into the Main Tab. This decrypts the text and switches to the "Edit" Tab. -There I see the decrypted public locks. Press "Merge" -Error message as stated above.
