Unable to set up secret storage / CORS error

[marceljay]

Description

Happens when trying to back up my encryption keys. After I wrote down the passphrase plus recovery seed two times, because the seed was newly generated, I still get the error "Unable to set up secret storage".

Version information

• OS: macOS Catalina
• Version: 1.6.0

CORS hides the underlying cross-origin error. Typically timeouts.
