That only means the key is the same as before, not whether it's right or
wrong. If someone would walk away from the keyboard then you can read
the text already, no need to guess the key, just do
":w !cat >/usr/me/public/secret.txt".
Or look at the sticky notes on the display for the password.
Yeah, encryption safety is not always related to the algorithm :-).
