Bug Description

Hi,

I get a password test prompt every two months (from what it says). I would put my password in it and it just disappears after I click on "Test"; I get no confirmation that it is ok or that it does not work.

I thought it would complain if I made a mistake so I didn't worry. I decided to test it with a wrong password to see how it reacts and to my surprise it does exactly the same as when I put my real password, it does nothing (no error as expected). I conclude that this feature is broken. I think it should in either case return something (positive or negative).

Thank you.

Here is the requested info:

1. The distribution of Linux you're using:
   Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (it reacted the same way with the previous version)

2. The version of deja-dup and duplicity:
   deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1
   duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2

3. The file /tmp/deja-dup.gsettings after running the following line (you may want to scrub the file of any incriminating file names or details):

org.gnome.DejaDup last-restore ''
org.gnome.DejaDup periodic true
org.gnome.DejaDup full-backup-period 90

4.The file /tmp/deja-dup.log after running the appropriate line below and replicating the problem (you may want to scrub the log of any incriminating file names or details):

neither command is the issue.

I can reproduce the dialog just disappearing instead of giving feedback in the correct-password case (bug 1583986). But I can't reproduce it not giving feedback in the wrong-password case.

In that case -- for me -- I get prompted again for my password.

I suspect this was due to some passphrase issues with duplicity: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup/PassphraseProblems2019

I will optimistically close. If this reappears, please reopen.
