View password for encryption on local device

The password for encryption is stored in Microsoft Windows Credential Manager. An entry is created with "Project2FA", which presents the hash (SHA512 - Wikipedia) of the password of the key. In order to display the password, you have to authenticate yourself with your user account.

If you have forgotten the password and are on another device, there is no way to reset or view the password for the encrypted file.
