Recover progress username/password from device settings?

dsjstc · 04-17-2023, 04:27 PM

I've forgotten my progress sync credentials for koreader.rocks. I know I can make a new account, but I'd rather not change credentials on all of my reading devices.

I've looked through all the settings files I can think of, but don't see the progress username and password stored anywhere -- is it in plain text somewhere that I'm missing?

It should be in the regular settings.reader.lua file in the /koreader directory under kosync.

Thanks very much, that's got it -- I was looking for words like "progress.

For posterity, the password is md5 encoded in field "userkey".
