Can I see the master key for a repository?

Awesome software, Kopia. Thanks everyone. I am trying to understand the security of this software and I would love some help.

So the master key is derived using my password. Is it possible to see this master key somehow?

I am wondering if it is possible for someone to compromise it (i.e spyware) so that even if I change the password, they can just bypass it with the master key.

Unless I am misunderstanding how this works, and a different key is created for each session.

Thanks.

I don’t know the answer, but I hope the above is useful.

Hi there! Thanks for the links. I already read all of them though. It doesn’t appear to answer my question.

I am worried that I might accidentally expose the master key somehow, since I do not know exactly what “not” to do.
