transferring accounts

As X-notifier no longer works apart from this topic and the first of my email accounts, is it possible to transfer from Firefox to Chrome?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This has nothing to do with Firefox or any other browser.  When Windows 10 opened with great fanfare Google removed all passwords from X-notifier leaving only this forum functioning.  X-notifier has not worked, apart from this forum, since changing to Chrome, when Windows 10 removed all passwords from Firefox on Windows 7.

It is NOTHING to do with Firefox or any other browser.  All passwords that came through X-notifier have been wiped with Google saying on each one, that someone has been trying to log in using them has been wiped by Google.   It is impossible to access any emails which were on X-notifier on Firefox and impossible to transfer them to X-notifier on Chrome.  Even typing them out individually. The ONLY email that comes through X-notifier is from this forum.

This is the only thing that comes through - no Gmails, no Hotmail, no Yahoo.  Just this forum which is as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Yes, there is an X-notifier Add-on on Chrome, but there is no way to transfer anything to it from Firefox or any other browser, and there is no response from the "owner" of X-notifier when queried.

But he is still asking for donations.

I have lost 95% of my work since 2004 because of  Google - and there is no sign of this problem being solved.  tobithu ignores all queries, but still asks for donations.

This mod, no longer works in Opera, but still works in Chrome. To export, goto options, then choose export. Add a new password - which will be decrypted when you load it into XNotifier on Chrome.

Personally, all my emails/passwords are stored in Last Pass. I believe there is an import/export function wtih LastPass as well. So if you opt to use a different client, capture them with LastPass and then view or export them whereever needed.

I'm not sure of what your situation is, but are you able to go to the regular gmail login page and access your acounts? If you can't, that indicates that the problem is not just with X-notifier, but maybe with your actual gmail account.

Otherwise, you should follow the instructions from the other poster. you should be able to export your accounts from X-notifier in Firefox and import that file to X-notifier in Chrome. However, I don't think the issue of Google blocking your accounts and asking for confirmation will be fixed by switching browsers. Is Google still asking for a cellphone number to send you a 4 digit code?

@SidGauVic - I am unable to access any of my Gmail accounts through regular login as Google have shut them down. 

And Google want a cellphone number if I want to re-open the accounts with a new password.

X-notifier in Chrome will not accept any of my Gmail accounts.

I see. That does make things really hard. Even if you transfer your accounts to Firefox, your problem won't be solved. If you think it will be solved, try downloading FireFox and use the regular login on that browser. If it works, then X-notifier should work too.

Is it possible for you to create a brand new Google Account and use Google voice to provide a phone number to recover your other accounts? Google Voice is free and you can receive SMS on it as well. That way you don't have to spend money to receive SMS and you can recover all your accounts.

The 'standard' way to move accounts from one version of X-Notifier to another (from Firefox version of X-Notifier to Chrome version of X-Notifier) is to use the Export/Import feature in X-Notifier's "Options".

Since Google has blocked access to your accounts, you need to follow their demands to get them back.
I googled how to receive SMS withOUT a phone... some have a small charge, but you only need it for a few days at most.  However, here's a free one:  https://smsreceivefree.com
Or you can google others: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=...
