Why do I only need to enter the password once when extracting the same encrypted zip file multiple times, even though I don't save the password in keka?

Hi @leesa666,

This is indeed a feature. The last used password is temporarily stored in Keka's current session memory, not written or saved permanently anywhere.

While there's no option in the Preferences to enable or disable this feature you can do it by executing this command in the Terminal.app. Keka needs to be restarted to reload this option:

defaults write com.aone.keka ReusePassword 0

Just replace the 0 with a 1 to reenable the feature.
