Introduction

TeamPass is a password management system that allows users to securely store and manage their passwords. However, users may encounter issues when trying to import passwords from an older version of TeamPass into a newer version. In this article, we will discuss the problem with importing passwords from TeamPass 2.1.27.36 into a freshly installed TeamPass 3.x.x.x and provide a solution to this issue.

Error Messages and Stack Traces

When trying to import a CSV file into TeamPass 3.1.4.4, users may encounter the following error message:

[Wed Mar 12 12:30:24.086779 2025] [php:error] [pid 1736:tid 1736] [client :58308] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: storeUsersShareKey(): Argument #4 ($objectKey) must be of type string, null given, called in /var/www/html/teampass/sources/import.queries.php on line 387 and defined in /var/www/html/teampass/sources/main.functions.php:2569\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/teampass/sources/import.queries.php(387): storeUsersShareKey()\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/teampass/sources/main.functions.php on line 2569, referer: http://

Additionally, if users try to open a password and view its logs, they may encounter the following error message:

[Wed Mar 12 13:00:42.886396 2025] [php:error] [pid 1733:tid 1733] [client :59345] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught MeekroDBException: Unknown column 'item_id' in 'where clause' in /var/www/html/teampass/vendor/sergeytsalkov/meekrodb/db.class.php:934\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/teampass/vendor/sergeytsalkov/meekrodb/db.class.php(890): MeekroDB->queryHelper()\n#1 /var/www/html/teampass/vendor/sergeytsalkov/meekrodb/db.class.php(1003): MeekroDB->query()\n#2 /var/www/html/teampass/vendor/sergeytsalkov/meekrodb/db.class.php(116): MeekroDB->queryFirstRow()\n#3 /var/www/html/teampass/sources/items.queries.php(2635): DB::__callStatic()\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/teampass/vendor/sergeytsalkov/meekrodb/db.class.php on line 934, referer: http://

Causes of the Error

The error messages and stack traces indicate that there are two main issues:

TypeError: The storeUsersShareKey() function is expecting a string argument, but it is receiving a null value. This is likely due to a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data type of the argument.
MeekroDBException: The MeekroDB class is throwing an exception because it cannot find a column named item_id in the where clause. This suggests that there is a mismatch between the expected database schema and the actual database schema.

Solution

To solve this issue, we need to update the database schema to match the expected schema of TeamPass 3.x.x.x. We also need to update the storeUsersShareKey() function to handle null values.

Step 1: Update the Database Schema

To update the database schema, we need to run the following SQL queries:

ALTER TABLE `items` ADD COLUMN `item_id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST;
ALTER TABLE `items` CHANGE `id` `item_id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Step 2: Update the `storeUsersShareKey()` Function

To update the storeUsersShareKey() function, we need to modify the code to handle null values. We can do this by adding a null check before calling the storeUsersShareKey() function.

if ($objectKey !== null) {
    storeUsersShareKey($objectKey);
} else {
    // Handle null value
}

Step 3: Re-import the CSV File

After updating the database schema and the storeUsersShareKey() function, we can re-import the CSV file into TeamPass 3.x.x.x.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the problem with importing passwords from TeamPass 2.1.27.36 into a freshly installed TeamPass 3.x.x.x is due to a mismatch between the expected database schema and the actual database schema. By updating the database schema and the storeUsersShareKey() function, we can solve this issue and successfully import passwords from the older version of TeamPass into the newer version.

Future Development

In the future, we can improve the import process by adding more robust error handling and logging mechanisms. We can also consider adding a data migration tool to help users migrate their data from the older version of TeamPass to the newer version.

Recommendations

Based on our analysis, we recommend the following:

Update the database schema to match the expected schema of TeamPass 3.x.x.x.
Update the storeUsersShareKey() function to handle null values.
Re-import the CSV file into TeamPass 3.x.x.x.
Consider adding a data migration tool to help users migrate their data from the older version of TeamPass to the newer version.

Q: What is the problem with importing passwords from TeamPass 2.1.27.36 into a freshly installed TeamPass 3.x.x.x?
