How to import old mafiles

This page explains how you can import mafiles from SDA and problems you may face

In NebulaAuth there 4 different ways to import your mafiles:

  1. Press Import in File menu on the app bar
  2. Copy selected mafiles in explorer's folder with CTRL+C and press CTRL+V in NebulaAuth
  3. Drag mafiles from folder directly to NebulaAuth's window and drop (Drag'n'Drop)
  4. Just put them in mafiles directory in NebulaAuth's folder and restart the application

Problem: encrypted .mafiles

If maFile is not imported and the application returns the error "Import error: 1", then you need to make sure that maFile is not encrypted: Open the file in any text editor and check that it has JSON format and starts with: {"shared_secret": "........

If you see some unstructured data like that: eyJlbmNyeXB0ZWQiOnRydWUsImZpcnN0X3J1biI6ZmFsc2UsImVudHJpZXMifQ==

Decryption

  • Enter your encryption password
  • Click "Setup Encryption"
