Title: Changing NXT password
Post by: brooklynbtc on December 10, 2013, 06:07:31 PM
Hey all

 Set up my NXT wallet, but didn't go all out 30char random on the password and I'm seeing it strongly suggested. What can I do to fix this? How do I change it? or do I need to dump it and get a new wallet?

thanks

You'll need to get a new wallet and transfer any funds to it unfortunately. The "brainwallet" system doesn't allow for password changing.

Computer doesn't store any wallets, you can create as many accounts as you wish.
Just create a new account with a good pass phrase, put down this new account number.
Open your old account and send funds to the new account number.

awesome thanks. I followed the tutorial, and while i'm not afraid of the command line, i'm not always sure about what is really going on..

UPDATE

So it's not even changing the password, its just entering a new password and making a new wallet. Brilliant.
