Hey, thanks so much for this. I'm trying to extract the key to decrypt db - I don't have a local passcode, only the cloud one, and I'm getting raise Exception(f'hash mismatch: {dbHash} != {calcHash}'). Any ideas on what else I could try?

The same issue for me. No password, but still hash mismatch.

@ianwongkj @aromanyuk works fine for me on 11.13.273693 Stable. Maybe you're trying to pass cloud password instead of default no-matter-key?
