save failed: need data upgrade - How to upgrade

[JokerGermany]

From issue #74 i get that ther has to be an "Upgrade datastore" But i didn't have one/find one.

When i open the settings i only get the message "failed loading sites" but i didn't find a button.

Hi, that doesn't sound promising. I assume the config page is also missing all your sites?

Could you please check the log? ctrl+shift+i, or menu-more tools-Web developer tools, then the "console" tab This with the config page open (after the failed loading sites message)

Your browser is Firefox?

It's the regular popup working? (Showing your saved sites?)

I assume this is your first run with version 2.9? You have not previously upgraded the data storage?

Do you have non ASCII (us a-z alphabet) symbols in your username, password or site names?

No there are 21 entries (alphabetical: number -> a -> d) (I think he never showed me all entrys)

Yes

It's the regular popup working? (Showing your saved sites?)

Yes until today everything works fine. I assume new entrys won't work and when i try to change an entry i get the message: save failed: need data upgrade

I assume this is your first run with version 2.9? You have not previously upgraded the data storage?

No I ignored the release notes and has done nothing until now...

Do you have non ASCII (us a-z alphabet) symbols in your username, password or site names?

I don't know which symbols masterpassword use for the passwort. The site names should be fine.

I don't know which symbols masterpassword use for the passwort.

I was thinking about your master password, but never mind. It is not the issue.

Oh.. Just checked with an older release, and this is a bug that's been there for >5 years 🙉. It will indeed prevent the upgrade, so more visible now. It's triggered if you have any site with password type Name [v] or Phrase [v]

Thanks for reporting!
