Description

  1. Encrypt any file with password1
  2. Encrypt the same file with password2
  3. Decrypt the file with password2

Expected result: file is decrypted with password Actual result: "Wrong password!" But if I use password1 it still works instead the fact that I updated the password to password2.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the encryption logic to understand why updating the password does not affect decryption. Check if the new password is correctly stored and used when decrypting the file.
