Dear Rusty, Yes - that was the problem. For such basic but important steps, I usually install things once, tear them down and install again to gain confidence. In this case, I did use real passwords for the first attempt but trivial and equal ones for the next attempts. Everything did work after going back to strong and different passwords. Certainly, one would never use the same password for both purposes in production. Nevertheless, this pattern is not good: The password seems to be stored and tried in other fields as well. That should not happen in security software, I would suspect. Thank you very much! Regards, Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
