Improve error messages when unlocking a VeraCrypt volume

During the user testing of the VeraCrypt beta, 4 participants were faced with an error message from either:

  • A mistake while typing the password (2)
  • Not specifying a keyfile (2)

None of them read the error message. Some guessed it’s meaning correctly. Some didn’t even noticed it related it to VeraCrypt.

  • A better formulated error message would definitely help with that.
  • Providing feedback while the unlocking is happening would also help.
