Hi,
I already set rclone.conf file with a configuration password. It works as normal and it prompt out asking for password input via “rclone config” cmd. Unfortunately, it able to bypass configuration password after using option –config=“dir” (custom directory). Is this a bug or what?
I think it is likely you have an unencrypted config file at ../rclone.conf - there is no way rclone can access an encrypted config without the correct password, so I think you must have an alternate unencrypted config.
Thanks for reply, however it still not working. I tried to change the password of rclone.conf in custom directory and it showed as “encrypted”. When I tried re-access again the rclone conf file, it directly move to configuration setting without prompt out password enter.
Recently i just upgrade and replace the rclone directory version from 1.43 to 1.45. (rclone.conf generated based on 1.43) .I just wonder will it be the version compatibility issue?

I’m not quite sure what is going on here, but I note you have three . in your config file so .../rclone.conf - I imagine this might be causing the problem. Note that you’ll also want a Windows style path so ..\rclone.conf is probably what you want.
