Help needed: Export Locko to 1Password

[Ulenspiegel]

I would like to ask for your kind help.

My password manager Locko is discontinued, so I have to switch to 1Password. The problem is with converting the Locko databse to one that is compatible with 1 Password.

I have found this site: https://www.mikestreety.co.uk/blog/export-locko-to-1password with a workaround, but I am no expert in this field. I am ok till point 4.

I would be grateful if someone could walk me through from point 5 in the above mentioned link.

Thank you in advance.

Looks like the author left out some steps. I'll take a crack at it.

Just to make things easier. Name your folder PASSWORDS. Put PASSWORDS at the root of your Home folder. So /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/YOUR USERNAME/PASSWORDS
- Open up textedit in your applications folder.
- Open Textedit preferences then Open and Save tab. Select Display HTML files as HTML code instead of formatted text
- Copy and paste the code.
- Edit the code the line [$folder = './FOLDER NAME/';] should be [$folder = './PASSWORDS/';] without the brackets.
- Save the file in PASSWORDS. Name it File.php.
- Quit Textedit
- Open Terminal
- CD to the PASSWORDS folder. Which should be [cd ~/PASSWORDS/] without brackets. If you properly placed PASSWORDS in your Home folder.
- Now you should be able to run [$ php file.php] in Terminal. Without brackets of course.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
I will follow the steps and will report back.

Done. I receive the following error message:

Parse error: parse error in /Passwords/file.php on line 3

Just to confirm.
- You changed Locko.lockexp to locko.zip.
- You then extracted that file
- This created a folder (parent folder) with some subfolders those folders contain files
- The parent folder you renamed PASSWORDS. You then placed this parent folder in the your users root folder.

This is just so I know it is in the right location. Based on my understanding of the original authors instructions.

How many passwords are we talking about? It might be quicker easier to just open each password in Locko. Then paste the relevant data into 1Password manually.

Yes, it was placed in the right directory.
Everything was done as on the mentioned webpage with your walkthrough.

The error message still persists.

Anyway, I think I will copy/paste the records (over a hundred) as you have proposed. This solution came to my mind as well yesterday, but I hoped I could win some time and energy with the conversion.

Thank you very much for your time.

You're welcome. Too bad it didn't work.

 

[Ulenspiegel]

Well, we tried.

Hello!

I appreciate this thread is over 2 years old, but I was sent the link by someone who was experiencing some trouble with the code in my post.

First off, apologies - it seems Locko changed the format of their export slightly (the blog post was 3 years old at the time and now 5!)

With thanks the the aforementioned person, I have worked with them to update the code. Also, with thanks to velocityg4's notes above, I have tweaked the instructions to hopefully make it a bit clearer.

I realise that two years later, this update might not help the original poster, but it might help someone in the future who finds this post
