Description

It is possible to encrypt private user data with some password and decrypt it on the client side only if user provides the password. If the password is lost, the data is also lost, definitely. One variant is to add an additional level of visibility, "secret", that will be not only closed for any other user, but also encrypted. But it is possible to make such data visible for a group of people, if every one of them knows the password, or there are several copies of the data with different passwords.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the user-data visibility and client-side data handling code, then clarify the encryption and password model with maintainers. Done should define secret visibility, client-side decryption, password loss, and sharing with groups or multiple passwords.
