Description

Currently the AutoConfigBackup device key is derived automatically and there is no way to change the key. It would be beneficial if users had a way to change the key to a new randomized value or manually enter a specific device key.

This should include:

  • A way to change the key, with appropriate warnings/confirmation informing the user that it will disconnect them from old backups.
  • A button to generate a new random key in the appropriate format
  • A way to download the device key to encourage the user to store the value securely, to reduce the chance of the key (and thus the backups) being lost.
  • If there is an SSH key present, give the user an easy way to check for backups using a key based on that hash.
