Backup password: unclear feedback after setting it

0
All issues

Description

After typing a new backup password, the app churns while deriving it, but once it finishes there's very little visual feedback that the password was actually created.

Going back to the backup page doesn't help either: it shows the same "set or change backup password" UI as before, so it's not clear that a password was just set.

Wanted

  • Clear success feedback once the backup password has been created.
  • The backup page should clearly show that a backup password is set, distinct from the state where none is set yet.

Fixed in https://github.com/badbundle/vault-app/pull/594 (merged as 377dc7c0).

  • After saving, the password screen switches to a centred confirmation: a large green shield that bounces once, "Backup Password Set" or "Changed", and notes about keeping the password safe and about older backups.
  • The Backups hub now shows "Backup Password Set ยท Last set " or "No Backup Password", with a Set Up or Change button to match.
  • The hub reads the status from the keychain item's attributes only, with interaction disallowed, so it can never prompt for Face ID and never loads the key.
