Re: My Passcode is not working
Could you give me the exact report in infotable? I can provide a patch that can be applied with desktop 1.3 debugging feature
Re: My Passcode is not working
The key in InfoTable is "PASSCODEMOBILE".
Generally, I don't find the pass-code protection very useful but some people like it that way.

Thank you for the information. I was almost giving up using the app, which I've been using for several years now.MisterY wrote:The key in InfoTable is "PASSCODEMOBILE".

Problem solved!
Sorry for the bad english (google translate)
Re: My Passcode is not working
@Icfabris, I'm glad that you can use the app again without issues.
However, I'm not sure how best to tackle this problem for everyone else. There is no way to know whether the user really entered a wrong password or not. Also, if there are no encryption libraries, should we simply not use the PIN? This would make the whole feature pointless.
I guess that the migration would be to remove pin on an older version of Android and restore on a new one. That still seems the least painful option.
Cheers

Re: My Passcode is not working
Hello
I tried to open the sql database, never found the password
I deleted the password on my tablet (android 6.0.1), than save the database
and when I want to open it from my Xperia Z5 Android 7.0, I always have the same issue, the app need a password although I deleted it !
I am close to go to an other app, although I wasusing this one for years (and like it)
Is somebody have an idea ?
Thanks in advance

Re: My Passcode is not working
Hi. It seems like you're not getting your database onto the phone. You have to download the database to the phone using some other program. You can not rely on MMEX sync because it needs to open a database first and the database on the phone has the PIN that can not be decrypted.airtay wrote:Hello

Re: My Passcode is not working
Glad to see that. This is exactly my argument - I see no point in encrypting the database or protecting it with a PIN if the device is already secured.airtay wrote:Many thanks ! it works

Everyone has their reasons, I guess.
Re: My Passcode is not working
Maybe you need to try to clean your cache. Maybe that will help you
Hi!
Re: My Passcode is not working
This did not work for me, it is still asking for a passcode.MisterY wrote:The key in InfoTable is "PASSCODEMOBILE".

Re: My Passcode is not working
This did not work for me. Still asking for passcode.

I can still open the file on my Windows desktop but it insists on a passcode on my phone so assume the passcode must be written to the file somewhere?
On a PC, I would recommend DbBrowser for SQLite, and on Android there is aSQLite Manager.
Once the database is open, navigate to InfoTable. There is a record there that contains the encrypted passcode. You can delete this record and save changes. The database should open without a passcode in the app.
this did not work for me. what else can be done?
