From d40e2000caa9462466db037d9341f044b83ad4fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Philippe Ouellet Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 10:58:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] backups: Explain why passwords are always required I had someone tell me IRL that they thought the fact that it still asked for a password when "Encrypt backup" was unchecked was a bug. This is not the case, so explain why. I think this wording is more user-friendly than "also used for an HMAC" or such.
