Backup fails after one incorrect password verification attempt

[Kẏra]

Currently, passwords are (optionally, by default) verified every two months, and if the password verification is incorrect, the backup will fail. For those with sloppy typing or a bad memory, this is hugely inconvenient since no second chance is given. At least a few attempts should be allowed!

Hello Kyra,

I was not able to reproduce this, as after deliberately mistyping the password I was presented with another password prompt over and over. So I got a "second change".

@Michael Terry: I set up my backup to ask for the password every time, as I did not wanted to wait a month before reproducing this. Maybe this is the difference?

I don’t think that would be a difference? Maybe this got fixed from the password handling rework after the passphrase problems we hit. If this can’t be reproduced, I’ll close for now. Please re-open if you still hit this bug on version 40 or above. Thanks!
