Disable passphrase

Duplicati needs to be secured with a passphrase and a random passphrase has been generated for you. If you open Duplicati from the tray icon, you do not need a passphrase, but if you plan to open it from another location you need to set a passphrase you know. Do you want to set a passphrase now?

“Duplicati needs to be secured with a passphrase”.

No it doesn’t. How to disable this?

Hi @user_name, it is not possible to disable the password as that is insecure.
Not having a password makes you vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks.

As stated in the message, for users with a regular desktop setup, you do not need to know the password, but can just open from the TrayIcon.

Only users that need to use something else than the TrayIcon hosted server should set a known password.

No, that opens the default browser, which I don’t use. The app is making the process insecure for no reason.

How so? I have some other negative adjectives for new plan, but “insecure” isn’t one of them.

New security system just came in with some comments, but also has links to password setup.

You can set the browser Duplicati uses with --browser-command=<path to browser executable> but it is a bit odd to have the default browser set to a different one that you do not use?
