But setting Migration flag to false did not help. Since I did set up an old ubuntu version already I have little hope that an old gentoo would help. But it seems a last hope if nothing elase works. Any other ideas to recover my passwords? Since I know my master password and I have the salt and the kwl files, is there a cli tool just to decrypt the contents and dump it? Or is there a description of the data format of the kwl file, so I could write it myself? Michael.
