Is there a reason why borg check doesn’t prompt for the password up front?

[PhilArmstrong]

Instead it seems to wait until it has completed the first part of the integrity check, which presumably doesn’t require the (d)ecryption keys.

This means that as a user, you issue a borg check, go away, come back to find a password prompt & then have to wait even longer for the second part of the check to complete. This is a suboptimal user experience :)

(Obviously you could set BORG_PASSPHRASE, but that requires remembering to do that...)

This is known and there is a github issue about this, see there.

Ah, I failed to find that with a search, will search further!
