[Duplicity-talk] Encryption password selection

[Yves Goergen]

For duplicity 0.6.23 (Ubuntu 14.04), what are the recommendations for 
selecting an encryption password? I can't find any information about how 
it's even used and what requirements (minimum/maximum length, allowed 
characters) there are.

Also, I've never seen a system encrypting and signing data with a 
password only (no key file involved), and now I've read that duplicity 
also signs the backup volumes and can detect changes to it. Is that true 
or have I misunderstood something? I only know GnuPG with keys, not with 
passwords only.
