It is recommended to add a password retrieval function. I have thought of two solutions, with picture explanations.

The following is from Google Translate

Suggested addition: Retrieve password settings (remediate forgotten password digits by setting custom questions and answers)

Here's why

Over time, boring numbers are forgotten, but some people or things are not, such as the name of a parent, the name of a first love. In order to make you understand what I am thinking, I have created the relevant settings page in Excel

After the database is decrypted, open "Settings" and click "Retrieve Password Settings", where you can set custom questions and answers, click Confirm to complete the setting (as shown in Figure 1)

Option 1 (Figure 2)

In the first scenario, only the password is set, and the key ID is not detected after the database is opened (for example, the key ID is: 0X23. Just like a data packet) will automatically decrypt the problem, and after entering the correct answer, you will get the password number

Option 2 (Figure 3)

The second solution is a password + key combination. After opening the database, it detects that the key identifier (key identifier data header: 0X23) needs to import the key before the "custom question" can be decrypted, and the password number will be obtained after entering the correct answer

There's no point in putting this kind of functionality locally, as it would mean storing credentials locally along with other credentials created from answers to recovery questions.

This makes sense with server-based technology, but not here.

You might as well put the answer to the recovery question directly in the password field if that's the information you want to remember.
