Buttercup-desktop: Support new Keepass export format: Argon2

[erodriguezh]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to import my database from a .kdbx file, but I keep getting the following error:

Importing from KeePass archive failed: Error NotImplemented: Argon2 not implemented

I am using version 1.16.2 (1.16.2)

I also tried writing a small javascript snippet using the @buttercup/importer package and I also got the same error message.

Thanks

Renamed as this doesn’t seem to be a bug: I expect that the keepass export format has changed as this was working originally.

I can confirm that using the current format (KDBX 4.0), this is the error I get. If I try with an old format test database (KDBX 3.1), then I can import.

If someone could share a KDBX 4.0 export here (using sample data) that'd help a lot :)

Sure, only a few entries, let me know if you'd like more. I've uploaded both the *.kdbx and the csv export.

Due to build issues, reverting and re-opening this. cc @perry-mitchell

I'm having the same issue - what's the status for this at the moment?

[perry-mitchell]

As my colleague said, we had to revert. Argon2 seems to not be so cross-platform friendly. We’ll try again soon.

We've decided that it's not advantageous for Buttercup to try and _decrypt_ other vault types. This is out of scope for importing. Instead, we expect that all incoming vaults are already in exported formats (CSV, JSON, XML etc.).

This is in line with the fact that no other password manager would be expected to import from a Buttercup vault file (BCUP), but instead might support doing so from a generic CSV.
