What issue do you have?
Is it possible to change a password for an encryption key? I have a weak password for it unfortunately, and wanted to know the proper way to change the password. I have tried changing the master password to account for this as well, but I was not allowed to do this either due to a "ccm: tag not matching" error. Any suggestions of how to change the password for the encryption key specifically? I don't want to have to delete my account, and then create a whole new account to mitigate this.
Thanks in advance!
Screenshots
Yes, from that screen you can click on "Manage master key" and that will allow you to set a new password for the key.
Thanks for the response laurent. I have tried that, but no luck. I see the following error:
The master password is put as "current password" and is valid. I have put a new password on the second field "Enter new password" field, and this is when I see the error in the image. The encryption key password is also valid. Would you have any insight into why the error might be showing up?
I wonder if it's due to the master key being encrypted with the old encryption method and the app trying to decrypt it as if it was new. We'd need to run some tests to confirm.
Understood, what information can I provide that would assist you with this? I can send some log output via email or another channel to you as well.
