Description
- Encrypt any file with password1
- Encrypt the same file with password2
- Decrypt the file with password2
Expected result: file is decrypted with password
Actual result: "Wrong password!" But if I use password1 it still works instead the fact that I updated the password to password2.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported flow in Amaze 3.3.2: encrypt a file with password1, update it to password2, and try both passwords. Trace the encryption and password-update entry points; done means password2 decrypts the file successfully while password1 is rejected. The issue names no files or tests, so locating the relevant implementation and validation coverage will require repository exploration.
