While attempting to build the Simplenote Electron client, I need to decrypt the config.json.enc file to generate config-local.json, but I don’t know the decryption password. When executing make decrypt_conf as per project documentation, I encountered the following issues:

  1. The command prompts for an AES-256-CBC decryption password, but no related password information was found.
  2. Checked project documentation (e.g., README.md) and existing Issues, but found no clues about the password.

Execute the decryption command:
make decrypt_conf
The system prompts for a password:
enter aes-256-cbc decryption password:

I'm a beginner exploring open-source projects, and Simplenote Electron is my first attempt to build from source. I would appreciate it if someone could address my concerns.
