Revision history [back]

My User Experience:
I created a new backup and chose to backup my active 'accounts' too. When I did a restore, after resetting my device, I noticed that all the accounts worked 'out of the box'.

Expected behaviour:
I thought only the basic info of the account (like user name or email id) and its associated settings will be in the backup, and not the password too. And the system would request for my passwords again once I did a restore.

Suggestion:
Please do not save any account passwords in the backup.

Additonal Info: We sometimes share our SD cards and if the backup is on it someone could access it. (And I did read a query here that the password aren't stored securely in Jolla).
