Importing passwords to SM 2.0

[Bill Spikowski]

Are instructions posted anywhere on how to import passwords from Seamonkey 1.18 
on an old PC (Win XP) to Seamonkey 2.0 on a new PC (Win 7) with an entirely new 
profile?

describes two possible approaches. I haven't checked either of them 
since the recommended way of migrating from SM 1.1 to SM 2 is to use the 
migration wizard:



Alternatively you could go to about:config in SM 1.1 and search for 
"signon.SignonFileName". That should give you the name of the file that 
you need to copy from your SM 1.1 profile folder to the SM 2 profile 
folder (and rename it to signons2.txt, which is the Firefox 2 
equivalent). If you use a Master Password, you'll need to copy the file 
key3.db as well. Background:

Thank you Jens. I had to delete signons.sqlite too, but now I have all my 
passwords on the new PC!
