Converting from Avast Password Manager [mrc-converter-suite] [Solved]

@gidsiner ,

Thanks for the report. I see the error:

Time::Piece::strptime("Time::Piece", "2027-04--1", "%Y-%m-%d") called at C:/Tools/mrc-converter-suite/./Converters/Avastpasswords.pm line 211

The data being passed is quite unexpected. Avast dates in the Credit Card entries in the export look like:


"expirationDate" : {
"day" : 1,
"month" : 12,
"year" : 2023
},


The converter just reassembles those day, month, year components into a Y-m-d format. It seems your day value is "-1". Can you find that entry in your JSON?

I'm sure I can. I can also just delete the credit cards from avast and then export there's only like 3 of them. Would that resolve the issue?

Also, I just found a workaround like 5 minutes ago. For anyone else having issues. in Avast you can export to Chrome, so I just exported\imported to Chrome, then after it was done importing I exported from chrome and used that file to import into 1password. Probably worked since the avast chrome export strips the CC's out.

If you would not mind confirming my suspicion, I can update the converter to handle that error condition. It's a simple fix, but don't want to update the code w/out confirmation that I've analyzed the data correctly.

sure no worries, you were absolutely correct. I did find the day = -1 in the json and changed it to day = 1. There were actually multiple CC entries with that in there. I ran the converter again and it worked with no errors this time. Not sure why Avast was giving a -1 as the day, but that's a them issue I supposed :)

Ok, great, thanks @gidsiner .

Perhaps the -1 is supposed to mean that no day component was present. Since the conversion is going into a 1Password Month/Year field, I'll update the converter to assume that -1 means no Day, perform the conversion, and there is will be no harm.

Sounds like a plan. You are awesome! Hopefully anyone else coming from avast won't have that same issue.

I've posted the update to resolve the issue. Thanks again for your report, and thank you for your kind words.

Enjoy 1Password!
