[SOLVED] Change Encryption Password?

[hindman]

Dear all,

I run the stock firmware and encrypted my phone including the SD card.
Is there a possibility to change the associated password? It seems only the lock screen password can be changed.

Best,
Hindman

Those are tied together. If you want to set the encryption password independently, that requires root. And https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nick.cryptfs.passwdmanager&hl=de for example.

Oh yes, you are right. Thank you!

However, one might think that two separate passwords would make more sense. When unlocking a screen, nobody wants to input lengthy passwords, whereas typing a strong encryption password at bootup is acceptable.
