Show private key after saving it to database

Hello,

I'm looking for the way to show the actual private key after saving it to the database (Data).
It just says "Private key previously saved..." but I'm not able to obtain/show the key data.

Regards,
Jan-Pieter

For what connection type exactly do you see this message?

I create a new credential entry of the private key type, add the private key by selecting Data at Private key type and add the private key by either browsing to a file or pasting from the clipboard.
After saving I would like to see the contents of the private key. The message I mention is in the box I pasted the private key into.

I have verified and you need to edit the private key entry and use the save button to save it back to a file.

David,

When I edit the entry I get the screen below.

Where would I find the save button?

Hi,
I have verified and you need to be administrator to see the Save button. Are you administrator?

David,

Ah, when I create a private key entry as admin I see the save button indeed.

The private key entry I'm using is in my private vault so even the admin can't see it.
Furthermore I would expect everyone allowed to add a private key entry would be allowed to save it back to a file so that would be my first improvement request.
My second improvement request would be to have an eye button so everyone having the correct rights would be able to see or copy (to the clipboard like when you add it by paste) the private key.

I will verify to make sure it work with the private vault. For the other request with the Add, it's not possible because having the add right does not mean that you can extract the private key. On the other hand we could allow you to reveal the the key if you have the reveal password right

David,

Great idea to have the option to reveal the key related to the reveal password right.
