Description

The PKI keys used in v2.5 (#272) of the firmware are lost between factory resets. Prompt the User to download and/or print a copy of their private keys.

  • Prompt user to download/print copy of the private key
    • Must be secure
    • Must only prompt once (can we trigger this to fire when we load and no Region is set?)
  • Allow user to download/print copy of their private key from the Security tab

@fifieldt As I work through this feature, the most straight forward item to build is the dialog to backup their private key. Let me know if the wording should be changed or improved.

@Hunter275 may be better to answer this than me, but I'd suggest

Backup Keys
It's important to backup your private keys and store them securely.

If you lose you private key, you may have issues with direct messages and you may lose access to nodes you administer remotely.

@Hunter275 When you have a moment, let me know if you want to see any changes with the screenshot above. Otherwise I will have PR ready shortly.

@danditomaso Is the user able to download their keys only once, or are they able to do it any time?

@Hunter275 They are able to download the key at any time, since the key could be regenerated I thought it was important to give them the ability to create a backup at any time. Here is what that looks like on the Security page
