Possible to decode an encrypted secret key? #281
Comments
The security of this account doesn't matter, but I would like to get access to it again if possible |
You can't decrypt an account that has a password if you lost it. Does it just show dots after you import? Set the index to |
no luck setting the index to 0. Im seeing "Undefined - o o o o o o" same as before Although, now when I go back to check, its showing 6-7 entries, all undefined. Im guessing the old data is being fetched from somewhere? Is there more I have to do to, besides uninstalling, to get rid of the old data? |
FWIW, I never actively chose to encrypt the keys and I didn't have them password protected originally |
Go to the "Import / Export" menu. You should check the value of "index": and make sure that it increments by one (starting from 0). E.g.: |
Just fyi, you should never post the data in between the {} here. Also iirc the data you posted was set to have a password on it, if you can't find that password then you are out of luck. |
When I click emport/import, it only shows the 1 entry I posted earlier (index 0) but the main window is showing 6 entries-- all Undefined - o o o o o o |
If import / export only showed that entry it should be fine? Did you click update after replacing all the text with the code? For the time being, try resetting the extensions data (you should just need to reinstall it) and pasting your codes back in from a backup (make sure to save codes somewhere before uninstalling!). Make sure that after you install it again that no codes show when you open it for the first time, and then load from the backup. |
ok I tried it again. Reinstalled and the main page was blank. Imported the single entry as index 0 and clicked update. The code appeared as Undefined again. Then when I clicked away and clicked on the extension button again there were 6 Undefined entries. I checked the import/export window after and there was still only the 1 entry I had just entered |
I also don't remember using a passphrase. If I wanted to try a few passphrases after importing, how would I do that? I click security but it only allows me to add a new passphrase |
Messing with the passphrase now would probably just make it even more confused. Your data is malformed somehow, but it didn't seem that way at first glance when I removed it from your post.. This is only really a hunch (and I'm not going to be near a computer for a while so I can't really test this myself) but you didn't just paste the code in, right? It should be: { "Hash": { secret } } I think you might have it like { secret } Where |
Okay I will mess around with it and see if i can figure it out. If you still have the info and want to play around with it when you get back, that would be appreciated. The security of that code is not very important, but I would like to get it working, if possible. |
If the security of the code was important, then you shouldn't have included
it when you opened the issue and should definitely change it if you haven't
taken note of that already. It's probably easiest at this point to start
trying to recover the account, but I'll see if I can do anything to help.

ahh i see now, adding hash to the equation did the trick. Thank you sir :) |
Just to be safe, I would manually copy the secret and re-add the code normally just to make sure that the hash is correct. |
Im having a problem importing an encrypted secret key. Is is possible for anyone to decode it so I re-add it manually?
