Yesterday I upgraded the Men’s Shed iMac’s Dashlane password manager, but it got cranky and claimed I’d already installed the Mac App Store version & wouldn’t play ball. In the end I uninstalled the app, somehow in that process it lost all the stored passwords.
Supposedly Dashlane can import password info from web browsers but for some reason that option only appeared when offline. But that was useless, all browsers were greyed out.
The only import option was to one using a Dashlane exported data file, which I didn’t have as I’d never exported from the app.
As part of the backups, there’s a clone on an ext SSD, which was cloned at the end of business on the last day the shed was open last week.
Booted from the SSD with internet off so it couldn’t automatically update. Exported the required data file, then restarted from the Mac’s HDD. Opened Dashlane, imported the data file & all’s ridgt with the world.
