After Crash Wrong Password Allowed Entry

[landry314]

One time, after TextSecure crashed then I immediately reopened it, it asked me for my password, then when I entered the wrong password it still opened like I had entered the right password. I'm sure the password was wrong.

This could have been because the password was cached already even though TextSecure thought it wasn't. I don't know.

Ok, now a second time it has done this. This time the password just timed out overnight then when I mistyped the password it said "Invalid Passphrase!" but STILL opened and let me send encrypted messages.

THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG.

There is a possibility I typed the correct passphrase this time. It would still be a bug because it told me I typed the wrong one...

@landry314 It would definitely help to get debug logs, I can't reproduce this at all

"Could not grab logs from your device."

Android devices running older OS versions like 2.3 will not be able to do the easy method of grabbing logs. Instead you might have to just enable USB debugging and run "adb logcat" from your terminal.
