Can I get the email address and password of the Firefox Account you tested with, or is that your personal account?

The error occurring is 'SyncKeys hmac could not be verified with current main key'.

Hi, Michiel

[Michiel de Jong [:michielbdejong]]

Thanks! Will debug and fix.

Comment 7

[Michiel de Jong [:michielbdejong]]

I could not reproduce the 'SyncKeys hmac could not be verified with current main key' error with that account.

Only 4 history records are coming in from that sync account, all 4 of them on youtube. There are 41 bookmarks coming in, but note that we are not displaying bookmarks (yet).

I did find different errors though, but they should be fixed with bug 1215086 (just submitted that) and bug 1214193.

Sorry, I mean I could not reproduce it with B2G-Desktop. Let's hope this is not related to how WebCrypto is implemented on Aries devices. I will test this on a Z3 on Monday in Taipei.

OK, we found the reason of 'SyncKeys hmac could not be verified with current main key', filed bug 1215460 about that.

@Alissa, I think what you are seeing on Desktop and Android are *bookmarks* (of which your account has 41), and what you're seeing on FxOS is *history* (of which your account has only 4 records).

Can you maybe try the following:
* visit a few sites with desktop,
* click sync now on desktop,
* click sync now on FxOS,
* see if the newly visited sites show up on FxOS?

Hi, Michiel
I try to testing with your step. The history in my account on august had disapeared, a new history which I have visit before is displayed, but the history in step 1 doesn't displayed on FXOS. 
Note: The history in step1 can be synced to android device.

[Michiel de Jong [:michielbdejong]]

Hi Alissa,

It's hard for me to see in the video whether the list you're scrolling through on Android contains history or bookmarks, since your menu is in an Asian language which I can't read. :)

If you successfully synced a newly visited site from Firefox Desktop to Firefox OS, then that's good news, that means it's working. I also visited 'redecentralized.org' on Nightly using your account, and confirmed that it showed up in history on B2GDesktop with your sync account.

It's indeed odd that no older history records are on your sync account, but when I sync to your account with Firefox Nightly, I also don't see any older history. Did you recently clear your history?

Hi Michiel,
sorry for the Asian website in my history, but I can comfirm that it is history in my Android device.

I never delete any history, and it's indeed odd. So is there any other account with which you get normal test result?

We (most probably) found the reason of this error. Continued in bug 1217760, which has details of the fix.

Thanks for reporting!!
