[Question] Retrieve passwords from dump file?

Open gcala opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I'm deciding if migrate from bitwarden to passman, so using my own server. Currently, I daily backup my mysql databases; if, for instance, my server any day fails can I get my passwords back from dump file? Is there a cli tool for this purpose? Or do you suggest a different backup strategy?

Thanks

I have a similar need. My private server is down and I have a recent export (JSON export from Passman). Since I can't get my cloud quickly I was wondering how to read my dump (the content property being hashed).

To backup passman data you have two options.

  1. Use passman export and import feature.
  2. As a server admin, backup your database and your nextcloud config.php file (there's a sercret used for server side encryption that you will need if you want to restore it on a worst case scenario)
