[iamjenechka]

[22:38:27] satori@satorilab :~/.config/remmina ☀ cat remmina.pref |grep pass
use_master_password=false
unlock_password=

Probably I missed something, can you give me some more hints?
Is there a lock master password?

Hi @peppelinux
I didn't understand the @jimisan question either :-p, but I can answer your own.

Yes Remmina has a master password since a couple of years.

It prevents some actions, like editing profiles, if enabled.

It looks like nobody is using it, or most of the users are happy with the current implementation, so I didn't improve it further

Feedback are welcome :-p

mmhhh... Wow, this app was born in 2014, long time ago!

Ok, @jimisan please give us some informations if you can about the encryption method and where the key is stored, if you can and if you want to enjoy in this. That's the way we can implement even this feature as well

@peppelinux I doubt that @jimisan can provide much more information about this feature than myself. I wrote the master password functionality.

Why would you need to export this password? It's useless for most users, and it's needed only in some border cases.

You will need the master password when we will implement file encryption.

Anyway, if you really want, you need libdodium, the master password is stored in the remmina.pref file in the property unlock_password. It's not possible to decrypt it without knowing the real value.

As said, at the moment this feature is only used to lock some Remmina widget elements, like 'Edit''.

Ok @antenore, really thank you. You mean libsodium, got It!
