Description Jesse Glick 2011-03-29 17:12:35 UTC 
jskrivanek encountered a condition under which Win32Protect consistently fails to call CryptProtectData due to use of a remote login. In this case, FallbackProvider nonetheless repeatedly prompts to delete stored passwords (see bug #183618) so long as you click OK - even though there are no stored passwords! - only falling back to master password encryption when you click Cancel. You ought not be prompted at all in this case - should skip directly to the fallback provider.

No idea how common this issue is and whether it merits a P2 classification.

Thank you, offending dialog never appears after the fix.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2011-03-30 14:34:08 UTC 
That is what I expected; I am more worried about whether it still *does* appear when it is supposed to, e.g. after a change of login credentials that leave the IDE unable to decrypt previously stored passwords but able to start anew. Unfortunately this kind of scenario is not easy to test.
