I tried to use the backup function to a file. created. Moved it to another device via BT. Opened the application. restored the wallet from the file.
But I can't enter the password, although it is definitely correct.
What's wrong?
I have to restore from the phrase.

If I'm not understanding what you did wrong, the problem you're facing is that the backup file is not encrypted with the user-defined password, it's encrypted with your backup restore password, or crazypass: https://anhdres.medium.com/how-monerujos-crazypass-crazy-secure-password-scheme-works-dc4f99a99ff0

I didn't seem to create any passwords to protect the backup, although I don't remember. Even if I did, I entered it correctly, because the wallet name appeared. But the password for decrypting the wallet itself, its keys, did not fit, although it was exactly correct

I see in archive backup two files, not three files in archive wallet

You don't need to create any passwords to protect the backup. Monerujo will automatically create a strong crazy password and use that. You can see it alongside the Secrets of any wallet.

Should I write down that long password when decrypting the wallet? Or the usual password that was previously created by me?

The long one if you want to open your backup anywhere else, or in a new Monerujo install.
