When I run on windows, it goes straight to the feed. The login screen is skipped, and there is no way I can unlock my private key.

We just need to treat this situation the same as if there was nothing under that key in all cases, not just in some cases, so that they can add a private key later.

So in my case, the database was storing under the key "encrypted_private_key" the value "0". I have no idea how that happened, but I think whatever bug did it also did it to another user I tried to support in my DMs. We just need to treat this situation the same as if there was nothing under that key in all cases, not just in some cases, so that they can add a private key later.

Ok I intentionally corrupted my epk, and it behaves correctly. I can import the epk. I wonder why I didn't see that on windows.

Ok this is closed.
