Auth error: "failed to unlock key [key]. openpgp: invalid data: private key checksum failure #43

Closed d4hines closed 5 years ago

d4hines commented 5 years ago

Hello, I'm seeing from #29 that I should use my normal ProtonMail password when trying to set up credentials with hydroxide auth. However, I get this error every time:

./hydroxide auth [username]
Password:
2018/11/24 10:27:41 failed to unlock key [key]: openpgp: invalid data: private key checksum failure
Bridge password: rBLy+TpeewzrvoEN+jJie0Yh9409IHPDauvSF0AsbRM=

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Daniel Hines

This is just a warning, it happens when you have an old key with different password you don't remember. See "Keys" in your ProtonMail settings.

Updated the error message in https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide/commit/ee861e4175f50fe941b1a0624a130dac99fe3aa9 to make it clear it's not fatal.
