Scenario Changing the Persistent Storage passphrase
Before features/support/hooks.rb:266 0.000
Before features/support/hooks.rb:273 0.004
Steps
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 11.991
# Note that if anything fails after the passphrase was changed and
# before it's changed back below, subsequent scenarios might fail
# because the Persistent Storage doesn't have the expected passphrase.
When I change the passphrase of the Persistent Storage 29.238
And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 9.227
Then I start Tails from USB drive "__internal" with network unplugged and I login with the changed persistence passphrase 1:32.095
