Description negora 2015-03-18 09:41:55 UTC
When you encrypt a file with an encryption method that uses a symmetric key and you are not using the "gpg-agent", KGpg asks for the pass-phrase only once. In my opinion it's risky, because you could type a wrong pass-phrase and make the encrypted file unrecoverable. You only would realize about it after some time, when you tried to decrypt the file.

I believe that it should ask you to confirm the pass-phrase again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Dolphin, right-click on a file and choose "Encrypt File".
2. In the window that shows up, mark the option "Options >> Symmetrical encryption".

Actual Results:  
It asks for the pass-phrase only once.

Expected Results:  
It should ask to confirm the pass-phrase.

that is part of plan to make encryption as tedious and hated as possible.
