Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Change the algorithm we use to encrypt and authenticate the borg key.
Important: In a `repokey` mode (e.g. repokey-blake2) all users share the same key.
In this mode upgrading to `argon2` will make it impossible to access the repo for users who use an old version of borg.
We recommend upgrading to the latest stable version.
Important: In a `keyfile` mode (e.g. keyfile-blake2) each user has their own key (in ``~/.config/borg/keys``).
In this mode this command will only change the key used by the current user.
If you want to upgrade to `argon2` to strengthen security, you will have to upgrade each user's key individually.
Your repository is encrypted and authenticated with a key that is randomly generated by ``borg init``.
The key is encrypted and authenticated with your passphrase.
We currently support two choices:
1. argon2 - recommended. This algorithm is used by default when initialising a new repository.
The key encryption key is derived from your passphrase via argon2-id.
Argon2 is considered more modern and secure than pbkdf2.
2. pbkdf2 - the legacy algorithm. Use this if you want to access your repo via old versions of borg.
The key encryption key is derived from your passphrase via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256.
Examples::
# Upgrade an existing key to argon2
borg key change-algorithm /path/to/repo argon2
# Downgrade to pbkdf2 - use this if upgrading borg is not an option
borg key change-algorithm /path/to/repo pbkdf2
