Bug Description
The 'encryption password needed' returns after I have entered the correct password.
The backups were done on Ubuntu 18.04 and this system was reinstalled due to hard drive problems.
Now trying to restore files from this backup the above problem occurs.
I have also tried from the terminal using Duplicity. When asked for 'GnuPG passphrase for decryption:' I enter the password that I used in Backup and receive the following:

I used the procedure given at https:/ /askubuntu. com/questions/ 793135/ how-to- restore- a-broken- deja-dup- backup- manually. I was able to recover files from backup but not the latest incremental; which gave the same error as above 'Bad session key' on the latest incremental files. My password was correct for the first full backup and the first incremental but seems to fail on the second and last incremental.
