Introduction

EDIT: Needs more investigation...

  1. Setup a "SSH (encrypted)" profile using a SSH keyfile without passphrase but an EncFS password.
  2. Close the GUI.
  3. Open the GUI.

BIT now will ask you for a password. Technically it is the EncFS password. But the input dialog label ask for SSH password.

Problem 1

Technically this is the EncFS password BIT is asking here: Image

Problem 2

Which password? -> Please re-enter your EncFS password to confirm. Image

I am assuming this can not be fixed quick. The related code need more refactoring to handle this.
