Hello,
I'd like to ask for help regarding securing the encryption key. If multiple users in our organization have access to the Account plugin and are allowed to make changes and change the encryption key, there's nothing stopping an disgruntled employee from changing the encryption key for all stored passwords without the knowledge of the other users.

If this happens (and isn't caught in time and the old backups expire), is there a way to decrypt the passwords if one has access to the database? Is it enough to use the new hash (for which we presumably don't have the key) to decrypt each password (and reencrypt them with a new, known hash)?

Otherwise, there should be a 2 step encryption key changing mechanism to force two different users to agree on the new key before it is changed. I think this is a lot of work, but it will be necessary in case one can't recover the passwords without the key.

Thank you
