Allow encrypted backup without password protecting the app #1345

Description

@tbridges42

The use case: In my risk profile I am willing to accept the risk that my device is stolen and unlocked, however I am not willing to accept the risk that my tokens become inaccessible, nor the risk that my off-device backups are exposed in a hack. Additionally, I have to use TOTPs frequently, sometimes in time-critical situations, which makes entering a code or biometrics frustrating.

The solution: Allow the user to specify a password or biometrics for vault backups separately from specifying a password for app access. This is not less secure than the app's default configuration of no encryption at all.

I've had a look through your code and although I haven't done Android development in a long time I think I could take a stab at it if this proposal is greenlit.
