Title: what happens if a BIP38 encrypted wallet is created without a password.... Post by: hold-tight on November 19, 2013, 10:25:01 PM I noticed that it is possible to generate a wallet which is encrypted with BIP0038 without giving a password. How does this work?
Does the algorithm have a default password it uses to generate the new key? or is a random password generated? If an address is created in this manner, i.e password-less, you cannot access it from bitaddress.org as an error is given that reads "Passphrase required for BIP38 key" so a password must be assigned to it somehow. I wouldn't know where to start to look at the code to find this out for myself. :) Title: Re: what happens if a BIP38 encrypted wallet is created without a password....
