Secure Storage Master Key

Stuart James

I don't want to use a secure storage master key. This is something we don't need and will just make life more difficult for our staff who manage more than 150 different Sophos XG devices having to store keys all over the place. I'm sick and tired of the screen popping up every time I log in and the fact I can't take a manual backup.

Will Sophos please stop forcing this and make it optional. I'm the Administrator, not Sophos.

    I am curious about this request. As this is somewhat similar to Backup passwords in the past, did you use backup passwords? 

    So to have several Keys or one key for all appliance, if you use a password safe application, should be easy to manage. Because you will actually need this in different scenarios: Backup/Restore, API Export/import.

    Yes, we use backup passwords, and we're happy just leaving it at that. There's nothing wrong with doing this and it meets our purposes just fine.

    I don't want to have to get my staff to log in to 150 appliances, create 150 different keys, store them somewhere and then have to refer to them all the time for absolutely no reason other than Sophos says we have to.

    We only need to do this because Sophos is forcing us to, which is ridiculous. It should be optional.

    Hi Stuart,

    the master key is required to do a restore as well as the backup file password, to me this is an overkill and you still cannot display the backup password.
