@deborahh @Mer__edith It's to cause you to recall what it is constantly & make it a stronger memory that you're less likely to forget, because if you forget that key there is no way to get your data back if you lose it. It's not problematic, & it's helpful since most people forget passwords easily & resort to using very easy to guess & insecure things like "P@ssw0rd123" or "1qaz2wsx!QAZ@WSX", & having this help might encourage them to make stronger passwords. I keep it in a password manager database that I have multiple backups of, so I can't lose it, so it just annoys me & I wish there was a way to disable it, maybe with five "are you sure?" dialogues. Repetition like this still helps me with passwords that I can't easily access my password manager to look at for though, such as for work.
