I just encountered this exact issue when attempting to add a key (copy and paste) from Notesnook. My device is a Google Pixel 6a running stock Android 14.

Went here to report same. To solve u need to remove spaces. And bitwarsen should do it automatically

[HeyITGuyFixIt]

@tixsys at least with notesnook, it still says invalid key after removing the spaces.

Hi all,

Thank you for reporting your issue. We use strict Base32 validation when manually entering keys. Spaces, lower-case letters, and other non-base32 characters will cause validation to fail. When displaying keys for manual entry, many applications may use lower-case letters or include spaces. I suggest double checking the code you entered contains only valid Base32 characters.

FYI; validation rules were relaxed to ignore spaces in a recent commit, but lower-case letters are still considered invalid. That change will be published soon.
