Hung after starting "Backup EEprom" #1

I am using your hex image (Mar 11 2019). I loaded several accounts, then did a "backup eeprom" and it completed normally. I continued to load a few more accounts and then did another "Backup EEprom". The displayed showed "Copying" but never returned to a successful message. I then did a reset, but now it fails to prompt for a Master Password. I am stuck at the initial message "PasswordPump Mar 11 2019". I've seen the another time and had to re-upload the software.

Further info... I swapped EEPROM and I was able to get the Master Password prompt and successfully login to the Password Prompt. I check the accounts and found only my initial accounts loaded (last successful backup). I then re-install the main EEPROM, and it failed. Something happened to the main EEPROM during the backup and it failed to backup the additional accounts to the backup EEPROM.

Hmm, I have not run into these problems, the backing up and restoring of credentials has always worked fine for me. I would insert the EEprom that was initially the backup into the primary position (the top) and then back that up to the bottom EEprom. If problems persist I'd compile and load PasswordPump_20.ino; the only changes that are present there are associated with the new GUI for managing credentials, but maybe that will somehow address the problem. It might be the case that your EEprom is bad, although I kind of doubt it; I have not had a problem with any of the units I've used. Confirm that you're using 25LC256. Sorry for your trouble and thanks for your persistence.

Best, Dan

Hi Dan,

I am using the 25LC256. I have ordered some additional eeproms. It's possible that one may be flaky. I'll report back when I get the new chips installed and tested. Thanks, Chris
