[SOLVED] New v1.8.1 rejecting .emb database password

Post by josh555 »

I am elated to see that version 1.8.1 for Windows 64bit is available especially as it contains the much awaited 256bit encryption. However, when I try and open my existing .emb database with the usual password, an error message appears saying that it is an incorrect password for this database. Do I need to change anything? I have now reverted to v1.8.0 and all is working fine.

@josh555 you need to
- save your 1.8.0 database as a .mmb
- open that with 1.8.1
- save it again as a .emb
Remember to delete the .mmb afterwards.

Thank you Kenk, that has worked for me. However, I have opened the same encrypted database on my android phone and marked an entry as reconciled but even after synchronising the phone app, the change is not registering in the Windows desktop app (even after closing and reopening). Is there something else that I need to do? Both apps are definitely pointing to the same .emb file. The same applies in reverse and a change on the desktop is not registering on the android app.

+1

On Windows 11, it says that the password for this database is incorrect or the file is not a database.

Here you are
Test_181_EMB.mmb
(113 KiB) Downloaded 429 times
Open the file and try to save it as EMB file, a password dialog will pop out and when you enter any password, the sql error occurs:
SQL logic error[1]: Rekeying failed. Pagesize cannot be changed for an encrypted database.

The database is an EMB file from version 1.8.0, where I saved is as MMB and then opened in 1.8.1, deleted everything except 1 account and 1 transaction, then optimized it and finally saved as MMB and then tried to save as EMB.
