Bug Description

Atril offers the option of saving passwords forever when opening encrypted PDF files. However, I find that, over time, Atril forgets the passwords and prompts me again. Perhaps, for example, if the file is moved or renamed. How is the association made between a file and its corresponding password (which is notionally kept forever)? I would like to see this done based on a hash of the file contents.
