passphrase cleared

[bbixler]

I recently had to do a factory reset on my android phone. Now I can't access my account. I get an error "Passphrase appears to be cleared. This happens b.....".

I also tried to create a new account and start over, but I get the same error.

Please help.

What kind of account is it?

Hi @bbixler

What’s your app version, can you try the latest one?

[ratttly]

I have the same issues.
I am using version 1067 from GitHub.
attached is how it shows.

Do you use desktop app too ?

[ratttly]

Do you use desktop app too ?

no I only use Android

[guangong]

hi @ratttly, there should no encryption for *.mmb file and this might be the cause.


@bbixler , can you share more your information here?

[giongy]

same issue after update db on desktop due 1.9 version

[guangong]

for desktop v1.9, please upgrade Android to v2025.02.07.

I've upgraded Windows to 1.9.0 and Android to ammx-2025.02.07-fdroid-release and I get an error on Andoid re passcode - see attached screenshot

Hi @mickgardner1 , please leave password blank/empty for your mmb file…

[mickgardner1]

It wouldn't open it the database - just kept repeating the error message.

[guangong]

Did you try to kill and restart the app (leave the password blank/empty for your mmb file)?

[mickgardner1]

I killed it and cleared storage - still keeps repeating the error message. Part of the text on the screen is in a language I don't recognize.

[guangong]

This is wired.

Can you verify that mmb file would be opened via desktop app or other SQLite client?

[mickgardner1]

Yes it can be opened by the desktop app.

[guangong]

Did you input a password when you opened it with the desktop app? not sure whether you can share some sample file to re-produce it

[mickgardner1]

No - I've never used a password.

[guangong]

ok. can you share the database or a sample database file that can re-produce the issue

[smeeprom]

Same here.

Updated the desktop app to 1.9.0 and immediately was unable to access the .mmb file on my android app due to the same error message shown in mickgardner1 screenshot.

Tried
1. Updated app to "Version 2025.02.02 (1067)"
2. Converted .mmb file to .emb
3. Exported info to .qif and recreated a brand new file
4. Uninstalled android app entirely and reinstalled
5. Created a test .mmb file with a single account and single entry

Nothing helped the error. Oddly it actually shows the "Copied xxxxx bytes" like it normally does when opening a file, but will not allow me to view any information related to the file

{Edit: Oops that is embarrassing, I just had to update app to "Version 2025.02.07" as stated! Apparently, the Play Store doesn't have the latest one out yet... I assumed that 6 days old was as new as I was likely to find and quit looking.}

[guangong]

Hey @smeeprom

Please upgrade mmex4android via the play testing link mentioned in viewtopic.php?p=25694#p2569

Btw, mmb to emb is not necessarily for this particular case

[mickgardner1]

See attached. This was converted in the Windows version and then cannot be accesssed by the Android version on my phone or tablet. The phone is a Motorola G55 and the tablet is a Lenovo M11. Both are running Android 14.

[mickgardner1]

Won't let me attach the mmb file - I get "HTTP error" - can I get it to you another way?

[mickgardner1]

I've tried to PM it to you but I still get "HTTP Error".
