I am experiencing this problem in 14.04 (it started recently, I don't remember exactly when). Deja dup does indeed remember the password, but it prompts for it with regular, short, intervals with the password pre-entered. I just have to press «continue» every few minutes.
Running the backup from the terminal, I get this output when the password prompt shows up: ** (deja-dup:12936): WARNING **: BackendFile.vala:487: Operasjonen ikke tillatt av motoren ** (deja-dup:12936): WARNING **: BackendFile.vala:487: Operasjonen ikke tillatt av motoren (deja-dup:12936): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_widget_captured_event: assertion 'WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed The second time the it asked, the last message even appeared three times. «Operasjonen ikke tillatt av motoren» means «Operation not permitted by the engine». Changing the backup destination folder does not fix the problem. In fact, no files show up in the new folder at all. I am backing up over ftp. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989750 Title: repeatedly asks for encryption password when backing up, even though "remember password" is ticked Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've set deja-dup to back up automatically, and to encrypt files. But it never gets far: every few seconds, it brings up a "password needed" window somewhere out of sight (behind other windows; but that is another problem/feature), even though I've told it to remember the password. So using this backup software seems entirely impractical; it will never finish.
