Would you please explain how it would be done? From what I know the CAL-area is locked to read-only when switched to open mode so therefore the passwords are not saved...Does switching back to normal mode mean that the CAL-area has the same encryption keys as pre-open mode?

If so, would just copying the ~/.aegis folder be enough?

Thanks!
