Disable auth secret

Open TristisOris opened this issue 2 months ago • 7 comments

  • Need an option to disable secret before login\pass auth. This is redundant.
  • it possible to erase whole data by misslick. I see no reasons to do this.

hello, there is confirmation popup to avoid misclick, and yes there is possibility to erase all data it is needed to start service from scratch, the problem is that without uncommon secret word Ivory won't be able to save passwords safely. If you do not reboot Ivory you won't see this, and everything should be ok. And if Ivory was rebooted it cannot work anymore properly without secret, so secret is must have thing. I do not see reason for now to hide the button. usually if it used across company people will refer to admin and will ask to fix it without erasing the data, but if admin forget the word it is just an easy way to setup Ivory from scratch

Admin can remove container's volume.. not i thing i want to do every day. Didn't lost any passwords in my life. Entering two passwords is just an unnecessary actions.

can you describe how do you use Ivory? because I do not really understand why you enter two passwords

it asks for the secret after each update or restart.

Do you restart it often? I want to understand the use case, to think how experience can be improved

Doesn't matter how often. I rarely use ivory, so almost every time need to enter secret. I want decide myself if i need any extra security or not.

Ok I see your case, probably it can be done and we can make this as an optional thing, I will think how to make this experience better, thanks
