Community / support / Changing password for E2E encryption
Avatar
I have a question that I used to encrypt the data with an automatically generated E2E encryption key. Now I don't want to use that key and I want to use my own short and easy to remember key instead. What will I do with the files that have been encrypted with the original secret key encryption?

How about this stuff

That's a good question. Currently we are using Rclone native encryption approach which doesn't support password change without data re-encryption. In the future we will improve that, so we generate Rclone encryption key which would be user password protected. It would then be possible to change the user password protected key without affecting underlying Rclone key. Alternatively we may support multiple decryption keys, so your new data will always be encrypted by your latest key, but your existing data will use sets of keys. Stay tuned, this is coming.

I also feel, hope can decrypt, and after I modify the password file to re-encrypt, there is a long list of automatically generated passwords is inconvenient to remember. So please 🥺
