Can this issue be escalated somehow? The backup feature is pretty much
useless without it being fixed. The importance still has not been
decided upon, and the bug is more than three years old.

Title:
  repeatedly asks for encryption password when backing up, even though
  "remember password" is ticked

Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've set deja-dup to back up automatically, and to encrypt files. But it never gets far: every few seconds, it brings up a "password needed" window somewhere out of sight (behind other windows; but that is another problem/feature), even though I've told it to remember the password.
   
  So using this backup software seems entirely impractical; it will never finish.
