Migration from KeySAVe (Electron)

[Cu3PO42]

When migrating from KeySAVe the Electron app to the web application, keys and formatting options should be transferred.

There are multiple ways of going about this

1. Tell the user where his configuration files are and have them upload them explicitly
2. Push an update to KeySAVe (Electron) that has a 'migrate to web version' button that will automatically transfer all required data
3. Release a separate migration helper utility that will work similar to option 2

Please comment on which option you would prefer and why. If you can think of other technically feasible solutions feel free to mention them as well.

I'd go for option 2 as it's most friendly. How the keys will be stored by the way? External database?

[Cu3PO42]

The keys will be stored inside the browser. It provides a database for such use cases.

Hmm so it's also worth to emphasize that you still need to keep your keys on disk in case you ever wanted to use another browser/machine.

[Cu3PO42]

There will presumably be import/export buttons so that shouldn’t be a concern.

I like option 2 as well.
