Wrong password message after each reopening of the app #32

Open elutz opened 4 years ago

elutz commented 4 years ago

If I close the app and want to open it again with the last used database, the password isn't recognized, at least this suggests the error message I got. I have to repeat the whole process of opening a database, selecting database file, selecting keyfile, enter password. Then it works. Until I close the app ... This is with a database of type: Keypass 2

This is with Sailfish 3.1.0.11 (Seitseminen) on a Sony Xperia XA2

Hi Lutz,

it could be that you used previously a keepass database with the same name but without a key file. Please look into the config file of ownKeepass under /home/nemo/.config/harbour-ownkeepass/settings.ini and check in the "recentDatabases" list that the item for your database has a proper entry for "useKeyFile" and "keyFilePath". If not than ownKeepass is trying to open the database without a keyfile and that -of course- cannot work.

Could you tackle your problem down to this reason? If yes, than I can look into a proper fix for this situation. Thanks.

Sorry for the late answer. But your are right. In settings.ini I found wrong content, it pointed to the wrong keyfile. And if I remember right I used this wrong keyfile in the past, but corrected it afterwards. But opening the database with the right settings doesn't update the settings.ini Now I deleted the file, opened the database again and it works after closing and reopening the database. Regards Lutz

Thanks for your message. So it seems that there is a bug in updating the settings.ini file. I will look into it later.
