Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptkeeper

When mounting, a password dialog pops up that lets you enter the password. It is closed however when the password was wrong which is not very useful.
It should give a message that the password was wrong and ask again, like gnome-screensave, gdm or most other password entry fields do.

Does this still affect you?

I am currently using Version 0.9.2 of Cryptkeeper and I see that it gives an error when inputing wrong password.

I believe that this bug is already fixed.

Well, the report was not about cryptkeeper not reporting a wrong password. When entering something wrong, the message appears and after clicking ok, the password window is gone. It's mainly a usability thing since, naturally, after mistyping, you want to try again. So it should simply show the empty password box again.

Oh, but true, a while ago it was worse, since there was no message at all. So I think it is partly fixed.

i'm changing the status to confirmed because although it recognises that the password is wrong, it doesn't prompt to enter the password again which is the desired behaviour.

Changed in cryptkeeper (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
