Unable to retrieve password

Open sleroq opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

When I use command cppcryptfsctl -m "Folder" -c "Folder\gocryptfs.conf" -d A -P to mount - I get cppcryptfs: unable to retrieve password error

I can mount with saved password using GUI, but not with cli

Windows 10 Pro N 21H2

If I remember correctly, it finds the saved password by using the path to where the encrypted files are. If you type the same full path that you see in the GUI instead of "Folder" then it will probably work.

You're right! It does work with full path.

It would be nice if cppcryptfs resolved full path before trying to find saved password.
