Figaro's Password Manager 2 was my favorite password management tool.
It is GTK2-application to preserve and manage your pairs of ID and password secretly with cipher.
To my regret, its Debian package was orphaned many years ago and
I thought it was time to switch to another password management tool.
But besides finding a good alternative choice, I had a big problem: migration.
Figaro's Password Manager 2 does have data export function, but only in special XML format.
If you want to move your data to a different application, you have to change the format of the data even if the application can import the data.
As my next password management tool is KeePass2 or KeePassXC, I need a XML to CSV data converter.
So, I have been developing the conversion tool very slowly and finally, completed.
Today, I published it on GitHub, which I named fpm2_csv.
The history of the code is quite embarrassing, but very few people in the world would be interested in it, that doesn't matter.
All the conversion processes are written in XSLT. During the development, I feel exciting that you can even write a process to escape double-quote, comma, and line feed characters for CSV format only with XSLT functions.
When I'm home, I use fiber-optic line with a dedicated old small router (YAMAHA RT107e) for access to the Internet. But I recently became anxious about the router. If it fails, how can I survive until I get another one? So, I tried to connect my Debian desktop PC to the fiber-optic line without the router. The PC have to talk to the other side of the line with PPPoE but I did not know how. In my PC, the Network Manager manages network configuration. So, I had to configure the Network Manager to utilize the pppoe like : nmcli connection add ifname eth0 connection.type pppoe username USERNAME password PASSWORD
