Looks like classic case of trying to dereference an invalid pointer? Fix was an early return, returning a default Qvariant().

I’m not an expert in Qt, I just like following this stuff to learn.

If you think that was toxic, you must be very new to the Internet.

The part that annoys people is when you doubled down to try to save your argument instead of saying something along the lines of “yeah, you’re right”.

It’s eventually going to have to be stored in plaintext somewhere. Where are you then putting the encryption key for the encryption keys and how do you start the chain of decryption without the first key?
