Notes¶

When you open the app after upgrading, all your data (passwords) will not be visible from new app. cuz, new react native app use a drifferent database (drizzle). so, password that saved previously in Room database, need to be imported.

To import the old data. Go into Setting inside app. and click GetBack Passwords From Prior To v3 under troubleshooting. now you redirect to new screen where you need wait utill you see in green color... SUCCESSFULLY MIGRATED...... and that's it.
