Connect to Mikrotik Winbox lost passwords

Published 3 years ago

Hi,
update on 2023.1.14 (in 2023.1.15 too) lost saved passwords for Mikrotik Winbox. When insert password and save connection again works again; but it is very uncomfortable; we have a many records, When I downgrade to 2023.1.13 works, thus passwords in db are still saved.

Thank you
Lukas Gallina

Hello Lukas,

Thank you for contacting us on that matter!

How many Winbox entries have been affected by this issue? If you right-click on them and go under View -> Entry History, are you able to revert them to a previous state where the password is accessible? Do you see a line in the log that seems to correspond with the time you made your update to the latest version of RDM?

Best regards,

James Lafleur

Hello Lukas,

We've identified the issue and the fix will be available in the next version.
There was something that changed in the encryption between 2023.1.13.0 and the next two versions, but it was not an intentional change. This will be adjusted in 2023.1.16.0.

Please note that if you've modified one of your Winbox entries in the versions containing the issue, you will need to revert these changes or enter the password manually. Until 2023.1.16.0 I suggest reverting to 2023.1.13.0 so you don't accidentally wipe/modify more passwords.

Regards,
