Custom TWRP 3.2.3 to decrypt Android 8/9 encryption

[AnotherElk]

SD card wasn’t readable from TWRP.

Which TWRP?
Regarding the custom 3.2.3 …

@AnotherElk

Mounting my SD card seems shaky, too. Sometimes it works, more oftentimes it doesn’t.

Neither my PIN nor default_password work.

“default_password” is for when you set screen lock to “None” or “Swipe” in the OS before encrypting …

@chrmhoffmann

default password encryption (that means you have no startup pin or pwd) does not work out-of-box. It fails to decrypt and prompts for password. For password then type: “default_password” (without quotes ).

You can encrypt without setting a decryption PIN/password/pattern by setting screen lock to “None” or “Swipe” in the OS before encrypting.
TWRP may ask for a password nonetheless … “default_password” can be used in this case in the custom TWRP 3.2.3, while official TWRP 3.2.3-0 might accept “none” for this.

when I fill in the password “default_password” it lags after the 2nd ‘s’. I need to press the 2nd ‘s’ multiple times.

Seems to be a TWRP feature, happens with every character and the delete “key”. Perhaps there to prevent accidental double input?
