3 years agoHelp moving from StickyPassword to 1 Password, please [Solved]
Hi thank you for your help, in advance!
I have downloaded the mrc-converter-suite and Perl, as well as the export of the xml version of StickyPassword. I've gotten stuck in the import part in the cmd box. I've tried ignore timestamps and cannot get any farther. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jules

That's fine @JulesBechthold , don't worry about it.
I have found at least one place that creates a problem. I'll test other scenarios here. Thanks for you patience and feedback.
Enjoy 1Password!

But I don't really need them anymore.

Ah, that's fantastic, @JulesBechthold .
So this leaves identity. Do you have that many Identities?

Okay, so I got zero records with bankacct, but I didn't expect any. I got one record with credit card and 112 with note. That leaves 13 records unaccounted for by my reckoning.

That's great progress!
I would like to resolve where stickypassword is creating some data that the 1PUX generator is having trouble with. If you are still receptive, could you try bankaccount, creditcard, and note export types, one at a time?
This would isolate the area where I need to hunt to find what might be going wrong (there are a couple of possibilities that come to mind, but I'd prefer not to guess and hope for the best).
The good news is, that for each of those export types you try above, you'll be able to just move the items from the newly created vault into your main vault and know that you have more items transferred.
The identity category is more complex, since it splits items into the other categories. I'd like to focus on this one last.
If you have no more interest in spending time on this, I understand.

MrC That worked! You ARE the BEST!! Thank you so much! I got 4945 passwords out of 5071 records. That's good enough for me! I can always click a forgot password link in the future if I need to. Thanks again! You're awesome!

Ok, thanks MrC . I have to leave for an appointment. I'll try that in the morning.

This has been a rocky road for you, sorry about the unpleasant journey.
That error is indicating that 1Password doesn't like something in the 1PUX file as created by the converter. 1Password 8's requirements for a 1PUX are quite stringent, but unfortunately there are no useful diagnostics to indicate where the issue is. So, we'll have to attempt to locate the issue by trial and error.
The converter supports selecting a list of import and export types. That is, the types of items you want considered from the original password manager's export (these are the "import types"), and the types of items you want placed into the 1PUX export (these are the export types).
The stickypassword converter supports the following import and export types (these are seen using the
--help
option):
Supported import types:
appaccount bankacct bookmark creditcard identity note securememo webaccount
Supported export types:
bankacct creditcard identity login note
If you are receptive to testing out where the failure is and is not occurring, we could narrow the records such that the export only contains a subset of the original items. If the import then succeeds, we know the failure is in the records that were skipped.
Try starting with login export types, since those are likely the bulk of your records:
perl convert.pl -v stickypassword --exp login ..\pm_export.xml
Then, try to import the resulting 1PUX file. If that works, then we know that some record in one of the other categories is causing the issue, and we can move to those.
