Can it use existing TrueCrypt volumes without modifications?
- akerro 10y agoYes, when mounting a volume, there is a checkbox "TrueCrypt mode" on right side bottom, under password edit line. You can make it checked by default in settings.
- kinleyd 10y agoThank you. I think it's time to switch over from TrueCrypt.
- urza 10y agoTest it first. It didn't work for me. Maybe because I also use keys not jus password but anyway I had to stick with truecrypt.
- kinleyd 10y agoYup, will do that too. Thanks.
- ultramancool 10y agoThis may be because they fixed the vulnerability with truecrypt keyfiles and didn't want to leave the vulnerable implementation around. Might want to report it and see what can be done.
- urza 10y agoHonestly I dont care. Truecrypt works great for me. My adversary is neither NSA nor FBI, so I can live with some small vulnerabilities. I installed Veracrypt, tried it with "Truecrypt compatibility" on and it didnt worked. This signals to me, that Veracrypt is not very much tested either, if they have bugs like this, they may also have bugs in crypto. So why shouold I trust it more? Truecrypt is proven by years of usage.
- ultramancool 10y agoYou're right, but the one catch is you sure shouldn't be using key files with it as they're one of the few things with known issues.
- kinleyd 10y agoWell, that's good, Truecrypt mode worked for me. I'll start switching over now in Truecrypt mode, and eventually will create VeraCrypt volumes and move everything over.
- urza 10y agoThis doesn't work properly. I have truecrypt file volumes created by truecrypt 7.1a that veracrypt is not able to decrypt.
- akerro 10y agoI have no problems on 3 drives. Report issue maybe?
