I mean, just turn off encryption if that’s what you want. I don’t think you grasp how the encryption keys are generated, derived, and stored. And I doubt you are using a password the length of the key. Well, maybe you create a USB human interface device that fits on your keyring to type it for you. I do have something like that for one time codes, but if that is your sophistication level, then we wouldn’t have this discussion really. I feel for the “it’s mine, I bought it” logic, and I miss the days when our rights were more absolute. But that’s not today.

There are key-derivation functions like PBKDF2 that are computationally expensive enough that it would make brute-forcing infeasible at best and impossible at worst. Perhaps only if your password is 1234 or qwerty, but even then it would take literal years. > I don’t think you grasp how the encryption keys are generated, derived, and stored. And you're wrong.
