i lost all my passwords last week (written in txt files) with about 890gb of files in a accidental 'quick format' in windows 10, most accounts are recovered recently, except my matrix account.... Has a wat yo i recover my password from spectral? I have only this logged on account. FYI you can recover almost all files after a quick format | 18:50:44 |
 tmpod | Carl Schwan can answer this better, he maintains NeoChat, a fork of Spectral | 18:51:12 |

FYI you can recover almost all files after a quick format i try everything i coult, including TestDisk. but without success. | 18:51:40 |

FYI you can recover almost all files after a quick format (rather easily, I must add; relevant googling terms are ntfs-3g and ntfsundelete) | 18:51:49 |

Don't know the details, but I assume Spectral/Quotient (the lib behind) only stores a session token and not the password can i use this? | 18:51:54 |
| balsoft | * (rather easily, I must add; relevant googling terms are photorec, ntfs-3g and ntfsundelete) | 18:51:57 |
| balsoft | In reply to @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org
can i use this? It will limit you to only one "device" | 18:52:14 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | for change password, ou something? | 18:52:19 |
| balsoft | And it will break e2e | 18:52:19 |
| tmpod | yea | 18:52:23 |
| balsoft | And it's hacky | 18:52:22 |
| tmpod | session tokens are not designed for htis | 18:52:34 |
| balsoft | In reply to @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org
for change password, ou something? Yeah, I guess so | 18:52:35 |
| tmpod | * session tokens are not designed for this | 18:52:36 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @balsoft:balsoft.ru
It will limit you to only one "device" i have only one anyway | 18:52:38 |

i try everything i coult, including TestDisk. but without success. Maybe I can help you recover your stuff, I have a bit of accidental experience in teledebugging and remote file recovery :P | 18:53:22 |
 @carl:kde.org | if I remember correctly spectral was already using qtkeychain | 18:53:26 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @tmpod:matrix.org
session tokens are not designed for this well, is only what i have | 18:53:30 |
| @carl:kde.org | I don't see anything in ~/.config/ENCOM/Spectral.conf | 18:53:37 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @balsoft:balsoft.ru
Maybe I can help you recover your stuff, I have a bit of accidental experience in teledebugging and remote file recovery :P too late. I already rewrite files on the partition. I lost three days trying to revoer something. | 18:54:22 |
| balsoft | Oh | 18:54:30 |
| balsoft | Well | 18:54:32 |
| balsoft | In that case it's probably gone, yeah | 18:54:38 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @balsoft:balsoft.ru
In that case it's probably gone, yeah i did this soon as i giv up. | 18:55:22 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @tmpod:matrix.org
session tokens are not designed for this so... how i get this? its a file? | 18:56:09 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @carl:kde.org
I don't see anything in ~/.config/ENCOM/Spectral.conf is that it? | 18:56:25 |
| tmpod | no, if it was in qtkeychain it was probably wiped with the format too? if not, there is probably a way to get it, though I don't know how, never worked with that API | 18:58:09 |
| tmpod | again, Carl will have better input on this | 18:58:54 |
| @carl:kde.org | it's maybe in kwallet if you used plasma (or gnome keychain on gnome) | 18:59:44 |
| @damon-bigdaddy:matrix.org | In reply to @tmpod:matrix.org
no, if it was in qtkeychain it was probably wiped with the format too? if not, there is probably a way to get it, though I don't know how, never worked with that API i using the appimage of spectral in my /home directory on Debian.
the partition lost was another one.
Debian is in partition X, /home in partition Y, windows in partition Z, the partiton lost is W. I separate everything for security.
