Enable password recovery #8

This one has a bone in it.

We need some way to recover a forgotten password. However, given that encryption keys are based on passwords, if a password is lost then the data is permanently inaccessible.

Figure out a way to get round that (see: Proton Mail). Consider two passwords? Auto-generate one?
